Since the World Cup tour moved to the United States about two weeks ago, ; American skiers have been doing everything right. First it was Phil Mahre, winning back-to-back races in Aspen and Vail March 7 and 8 to insure himself of a third consecutive overall World Cup championship in men's alpine skiing. Then, when Mahre let up, Tamara McKinney took over. Beginning Wednesday in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire and ending Saturday in Vail, McKinney won an incredible three consecutive con-secutive World Cup giant slaloms in four days, clinching clin-ching the World Cup title in women's giant slalom and all but wrapping up the overall title in women's alpine. McKinney now leads the overall World Cup standings with 210 points, 18 more than the defending champion, Erika Hess of Switzerland. "There's a slim mathematical chance that Hess could still win it, but not much of one," John Dakin, information director for the U.S. Ski Team, said Monday. McKinney wasn't the only American to shine in last week's races. Cindy Nelson who at 27 is the oldest competitor com-petitor on the women's tour, finished fifth, third and second in the three giant slaloms. McKinney's string of victories vic-tories began on a fogbound course in Waterville Valley Wednesday, March 9. A combination of new snow and rain had made the course very slippery and unpredictable. McKinney stood in second place after the first run, trailing West Germany's Marile Epple by two tenths of a second. However, she more than made up the difference dif-ference in the second run, finishing ahead of Epple by seven tenths of a second. Third place went to Fabi-enne Fabi-enne Serrat of France, fourth to Erika Hess of Switzerland and fifth to Cindy Nelson. Of the top five finishers, three-Epple, Serrat and Nelson have a total of 36 years of experience in World Cup skiing. As if to prove it was no fluke, McKinney repeated her performance at Waterville Water-ville Valley the following day, in a race held to make up for a cancelled World Cup giant slalom originally planned plan-ned for Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. But this time McKinney led all the way, posting the two fastest runs of the day to defeat Marile Epple by more than l'i seconds. Finishing third, half a second behind Epple, was Cindy Nelson. Finishing fourth was Switzerland's Swit-zerland's Michela Figini, while Swiss teammate Erika Hess and France's Anne Flore Rey tied for fifth. Then, at Vail Saturday McKinney wrapped up an astonishing week by winning her third race, also in giant slalom, by six tenths of a second over Cindy Nelson. Erika Hess finished a distant third, almost two seconds off the pace. While the women were racing in Vail, the men had moved to Lake Louise, Canada, for a World Cup downhill. Top honors in that race went to a pair of Austrians: Helmut Hoeflehner finished first, just ahead of old pro Franz Klammer. In third was Switzerland's Swit-zerland's Conradin Cathomen. The only American to score World Cup points in that race was Phil Mahre, who finished 13th. While last week will be remembered as one of the best ever for the U.S. Ski Team, it was disastrous for the Canadians. On Sunday, March 6, defending World Cup downhill champion Steve Podborski suffered a spill that shattered his left knee and perhaps ended his racing career. Then, on Wednesday, 10-year veteran Ken Read announced his retirement, saying that he did not feel he could give 100 percent any longer. The World Cup tour for both men and women is now on its way to Furano, Japan, for the final races of the season March 18-21. Winter Carnival races return to Park City You say you had your eye on winning an airline ticket when the last KTVX giant slalom was held in Park City a couple of weeks ago. But that was before a pro racer by the name of Scott Hoffman Hoff-man signed up and beat you by 15 seconds. Well cheer up, fella. You've got a second chance. The KTVX Winter Sports Carnival will perform an encore en-core in Park City Sunday with the final giant slalom i'race of the series. t f Like the March 6 race, it will be held on the Park City Ski Area's Clementine run. But, unlike the March 6 race, there will be separate Pro and Open divisions to keep the competition a little more equitable. "It's supposed to be a citizens' racing series," noted American Pro Skiing (APS) promoter Al Johnson, who is helping to coordinate the activities. There's another incentive to compete this time around. The race will be videotaped for a later broadcast over KTVX. As was the case March 6, the winner of each division will receive a round-trip plane ticket good on any of Republic Airlines' domestic routes. Two tickets will go to fWMM Eft Open divisions. An ad-, ditional four tickets will be awarded in a drawing during the post-race party. Beside the Pro and Open divisions, there will be four age categories each for men and women. Registration will be from 8 to 10 a.m. Sunday, Sun-day, with the race scheduled to begin at 10:30. Other sponsors of the KTVX KT-VX Winter Sports Carnival are Subaru and Coors. If you'd rather ski bums than "chase sticks," as one young freestyle skier likes to put it, you can try your hand in the APS dual mogul challenge planned for Brighton on Saturday, March Mar-ch 19. Expected among the competitors is Mike Young of Breckenridge, Colorado, who won a similar contest at .ParkWest March 5. Also expected' ex-pected' is Par City's Karen Huntoon Miller, who won the women's contest the same day. However, Miller is going to watch this one from the judge's stand instead of the top of the course. Johnson said the Park-West Park-West contest attracted 111 entries. However, the turnout turn-out for the two junior divisions was a disappointment: disappoint-ment: only 10 skiers showed up. He pointed out that there is an added incentive for the younger bump skiers: the winner of the season series in each junior division will be given a full scholarship to Jan Bucher's summer freestyle camp in Oregon. Registration for the mogul challenge will, be held at Brighton Friday from 5 to 5 p.m. and again Saturday from 8 to 10 a.m. The race is scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m. Adolph's team wins Park City Bartenders ' Cup A team from Adolph's Restaurant will represent Park City in the western region finals of the Bartenders' Barten-ders' Cup to be held in Aspen March 30. The team, composed of Karri Hays, Karl Jacobson and Bill Skinner, qualified for the Aspen race by defeating 44 other teams in a Bartenders' Cup race held Wednesday, March 9 at the Park City Ski Area. According to Race Department Depart-ment official Tasha Beebe, a qualifying round was held to select the top 16 teams, then a single-elimination format used to pick the winner. win-ner. Competing racers skied head-to-head on a modified giant slalom course. The team which won two or more individual match-ups moved on to the next round. Finishing second to Adolph's was the Cowboy Bar team composed of Roxanne Toly, Geoff Nielsen and Louie Leatham. Third place went to the Branding Iron team of Iris Gericke, Rob Harrison and Mark Mason. In fourth place was the Janeaux's team of Donna Lawlor, George Cote and Bruce Juhl. The rules stipulated that two of the members of each team must have worked at least 20 hours a week for the previous month at the establishment which they represented in the race. P.C. Winterfest It's called the Park City Golf Course, so it really shouldn't be news when somebody goes out to play a few holes. But in winter? On skis? That's right. This five-hole foolishness is part of the 1983 Park City Winterfest, to be held Saturday, March 26 at the White Pine Touring Center (a.k.a. the Park City Golf Course). The Winterfest is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. with a three-person cross-country relay race using the agesex handicap system devised by Steve Erickson and Ted Sundquist. Each team member will run one lap around the track. Hisher time will be adjusted using the handicap system. There will be three categories of skiers, depending on the average age of the team members: (a) average age 13 or under; (b) average age 14-40; (c) average age 40 or older. The top three teams in each category will receive prizes. To spice up the pot a little, the members of the White Pine team (Jim Miller, Steve Erickson and Kym Davis) have offered to buy dinner for any local team which can come within five minutes of their combined handicap time. White Pine is encouraging other local businesses and team to come up with ther own challenges. Entry fee for the race is $10 per team. Then, at 1 p.m., Doug Vilven, Park City's head golf pro will orchestrate the five-hold golf tournament. Each player will receive only one club, and must keep hisher skis on at all times. There are two divisions: men, 18 and over; and women, 18 and over. Entry fee is $2. Prizes will be awarded to the top three golfers in each division, courtesy of Doug's Pro Shop.
