Show Vodnesday, March 3, 1 976 Page 5 yv ... McDonald's Cup At Afton Alps Prs Split . by JimTedford Crud is probably the toughest snow condition to ski. Even pure untracked powder is easier. Crud is cut-up powder snow. It can vary from two inches to several feet. It is extremely difficult dif-ficult because it is so changeable: one second it is mostly powder, the next second it is mostly packed. ". The important things to remember in crud are to keep your feet locked together and to stay very low. If you skis come apart, air the piles and chunks of snow that come in between them will tend to push them even farther apart. If you stand up too straight, you will get a very jerky ride because the skis speed up when they hit packed and slow down when they hit powder. If the snow is more powder, weight the Skis equally; if more packed, then weight the outside ski more. Crud is tough skiing but if done well it can be very gratifying. 1 .

Afton Alps has a forward-thinking forward-thinking management ' and offers an excellent racing slope for the head-to-head, sprint races of the pros. This is the strongest field of pro racers to ever compete in a McDonalds Cup," continues Beattie, "and it will be tough to guess which pro will ski victoriously through ' the Golden Arches." Top racers to watch for are ... France's Henri Duvillard, a dominant force in ; pro racing this season, will dash down the slopes at Afton Alps with the same form , that ; earned him $4,000 victories in six of the first eight races this year. . And Duvillard's teammates with Salomon-Dynastar-Scott, Frenchman Patrick Russel, Austrian Ed Reich and Canadian Doug ' Woodcock are all capable of winning themselves. Olin-Salomon-Demetre racers Bob Cochran of Vermont and Josef Odermatt and alois Fuchs of Switzerland must also be picked as winners. And no one can discredit Aspen's Rudd Pyles and his Spalding-Caber-Salomon squad .

Ken Corrock of Sun Valley, Id., was fourth in the slalom, his best placing of the season. Pro News Highlights Pyles Seeks Shoulder Repair . Considering that Aspen, Co.'s Rudd Pyles chipped and dislocated his right shoulder in mid-December, he's been' enjoying a remarkable season two seconds and two fourths in four out of the six giant slalom competitions held. But it's not good enough for the burly fourth-year pro. "I'm okay in the giant slalom because I've got the time to catch up after a slow start, but in slalom I m hurting. I can't push from the start nor American Bob Cochran, did "Dudu" even come close to dropping a duel. The Frenchman Fren-chman escaped with a .040 victory over the American, who earlier in December in Aspen had stolen a giant slalom win from Duvillard. Then in the rematch, Duvillard held on to win by .125. "I should have taken him," offered Cochran. "I think I need to learn to ski differently dif-ferently in the later runs when there are ruts my line isn't right for that.'.' Duvillard also had an excuse. "I have diarrhea very bad today and must go into the trees before the finals." For French Canadian fans, Peter Duncan of nearby Mont Tremblant stole the giant slalom show. Out of pro action ac-tion with leg breaks in 1973-74, 1973-74, Duncan, 31, had not even qualified for a pro match in two years. Riding high on Canadian enthusiasm, though, Duncan claimed poleonthesteep.
