Skiers Raise $14,000 For Easter Seals The "Ski Foi- Kiislcr Seals downhill cross-country marathon held in Park City last Saturday attracted only about half of the expected 500 participants and fur less than the hoped for 1,000 skiers. But with nearly $14,000 in pledges, the event still proved to he an important import-ant fund raiser for the charity. Doug Beck, director of the Salt Lake City Easter Seals office, says the response to this year's marathon shows that the Park City charity drive has real potential. "Our pledges increased 98 percent over last year's, the number of participants was up 41 percent and our expenses were 22 percent less," said Beck. Beck said Easter Seals had predicted a greater number of entrants because nearly 80 schools in Salt Lake County area had been approached on the project. "We expected a lot of secondary school students but only about 30 showed up," Beck said. "I think a lot more would have come up had some type of transportation transporta-tion been provided. Next year we plan to provi(ie"bus service from the schools to Park City and back." Beck said most of the 269 entrants came from the Miners Continued From Pajje ."

Downhill coach Jim Barrows is quoted as "not surprised. Karl, as well as Andy and some of our younger downhillers, have been ready for a breakthrough ."

Going into the second run of the finals, Bergh, 20, had a .305 second advantage over his 24-year-old opponent op-ponent and secured his victory vic-tory with a smooth final run, .526 seconds faster than Cleveland. Bergh commented, "I've been off my stride for a couple of weeks but this has gotten my confidence back where it should be." Cleveland added," (Switzerland's (Swit-zerland's Richard) Jenny was my biggest psychological victory. I think I tended to slow up after af-ter that." Denver's Teddy Marolt, 22, third in the standings with 80 points (Cleveland has 100, Bergh 85), beat Dan Susslin twice in the consolation con-solation round when Susslin, 20, Vermont, put on the best performance of his pro racing career. The seasoned pros on the Tour took all the second round and quarter finals slots with 144 men showing up for the competition. com-petition. This is the halfway point for the Tour and the extremely large turnouts are expected to drop below 15() racers lor the rest of the season The team competition is peaking as Fischer took over lirst place this weekend Fischer accumulated ac-cumulated o points at Winter Win-ter Park while Rossignol in creased its standings to 185.

Neither does the idea of traversing back and forth twenty times to get up the hill. Well, now you can ski up those slopes faster and easier by using a combination of both the side step and traverse. To perform the side step traverse, step your skis up the hill at the same time as you slide them forward. In other words, each ski will have a forward and uphill component as it is moved. The combination of these two components compo-nents speeds up the ascent of the hill. As a result, the side step traverse will lessen the time you spend on uphills. !" ft- Technical assistance provided by Eastern ; Professional Ski Touring Instructors. , - . U Cisco Run Over With the 1979 cisco run over at Bear Lake, state fisheries biologists can only guess why the run was a bit slower than last year's.

Arvil is ahead of The Line 210-150. In the open competition the Celestial Seasonings team is way out in front with 200 points, leading Sunset Sports Center's 80 points. With II ski area teams, Eldora is the obvious leader with 310 points. Reflecting on the season so far. Tour Director Sandy Nichols said. "The turnouts and level of competition so far this season have been amazing but I don't think anyone should be surprised. We've always suspected that there is a large and very healthy group of athletes in this country and abroad who are peaking in their careers but who are not timing it appropriately with their respective national amateur programs. Our purse is the largest regional purse in the country coun-try but we are sending home 140 guys a race who aren't making a cent. That. I think, says a lot and I wish we could do more for them. "The money is important lor sure but these guys are just looking for quality tournaments to compete in. The real reason they are racing is because they are racers.

"Ol course, one of the main reasons that we know so little about the species is that it is found nowhere else.'" "We won't have data compiled for awhile." Fit-man Fit-man continued, "but when we do. we expect to see that pressure was up and success suc-cess was down." State biologists sample ears near Bear Lake to get an idea of the number of people fishing and the number of cisco they are catching. , Unlike past years, this year's run never developed a peak. Pitman speculates that the slow year was probably attributable to a number of factors. "The population may be down a bit, ice on the lake was a factor and heavy fishing pressure may have affected success," Pitman said. He noted that on three consecutive con-secutive week days there were more than 1,000 people fishing the lake.
