Show Page 8 u4 100 Freestylers Compete !TSPA The fourth Western Amateur Freestyle Association contest of the season was held at Park West last weekend. Kevin Wightman took first overall among the 100 skiers who competed on several feet of new snow while crowds of spectators looked on. "The conditions were perfect," per-fect," WAFA director Stan Jones said. "Park West only had one inch of new snow from Saturday so we didn't have to do too much work to prepare for Sunday." After the heavy snowfall of last week it was questionable if the mogul competition scheduled for Saturday would materialize. But Saturday morning the contest con-test started on time and Jones said "the moguls were very big" on Slaughterhouse, an apropos run for the lightening-quick event. The onlv deferent of the day was an overcast sky that increased the difficulty factor for the bump specialists. Sunday was clear and sunny, sun-ny, however, and 1,500 spectators spec-tators lined the mountain to watch the popular ballet and aerial contests. The 10:30 ballet exhibition on Paleface was followed by the expertise exper-tise of the not-so-green aerialists soaring from the off-ramp on Green Horn. Three Salt Lake television stations were on hand to capture cap-ture the spectacular jumpsand jum-psand landings. Four judges score a maximum of 20 points per competitor per run in each event. The high and low score are averaged, and the two remaining scores plus the averaged score are used for a total of three scores per run. The top 50 of the field returns for a second run.

There is no official screening to insure in-sure the ability of a competitor, com-petitor, but a member must pay $25 per year, fill out an application, and in the case of 18-year-olds and under, present a notorized release signed by parents. According Accor-ding to Jones, "The same people compete in each contest, con-test, and they take it more seriously than if they were just able to enter openly." There are five classes for the three-event competition. For men there is a class for 14 years and under; 15, 16 and 17; and 18 and over. Women have one category and the Expert class includes in-cludes men and women who have previously shown their winning ways. "The expert class makes the competition more fair," Jones said, "because the same people are not winning their class continually." He cited 15-year-old Mark Holbrook, who won first place in the Expert aerials, and Expert ballet winner Jan Bucher ("She beat all the boys! ). There is also an overall winner, who must compete in all three events, although he may run in a different class each event. Jones has scheduled eight events for the season, with the next in Snow Basin, near Ogden, the weekend of February 25. The event will return to Park West on March Mar-ch 11. Saturday - Moguls 1.

Mark Holbrook Races At Park West Last Wednesday 50 racers turned out for a nighttime dual slalom event at Park West, the first in a series of races to be held every other week. "This race went very smoothly, and the bigger the turnout from now on, the more Park West will be enthusiastic," en-thusiastic," said Jim Totora, who previously ran local races at Park City Resort. "Park City doesn't seem to be interested in local races," Totora continued, citing the four Town Races the resort has scheduled for this season. He said he hopes to drum up local enthusiasm by having the races twice a month. The races are an individual, in-dividual, single-elimination event. The first racers named to the winners list were Kris Elwell in the men's Pro division, Mark Jolley in the Bs and Tim Miller in the C class. The women had a light turnout, and Tina Moench bested three others in the only ladies event of the night. Melinda Sperry, this year's NASTAR zero han-dicapper han-dicapper for women, was uncontested in the Pro category, so she ran in the men's A division and raced well until she was eliminated in the semi-finals. Some men running in that category felt humbled by the experience. "I want to get the locals out and racing. It's a great bargain," Totora said of the $4 entrance fee that includes a night skiing pass (worth $5), entrance fee to the race, and free beer after the race. The next race is scheduled for February 22 at 6 : 30 p.m .

But... one more I can't resist. Early in the year most Rocky Mountain resorts resor-ts would like to forget, the inimitable Ernie Blake who presides over his Taos Ski Valley in New Mexico as no one presides over anything, made a remark that was eventually picked up by radio's Paul Harvey and spread to the multitudes. Blake.. .the story goes.. .said skiers had an uncanny un-canny ability to survive years like that one. "If skiers didn't have snow, they would be fine. They could always fall back on sex and booze." Ernie and the rest of us won't know what really happened to skiers last season until the 1980 census cen-sus is out... but it doesn't take a census taker to realize what happened in Taos when the snows stayed in New England. You see, Taos is a tiny village, high in the beautiful New Mexico mountains. Usually, people are so preoccupied with serving the skiers who know the well-kept secret of Blake's mountains moun-tains that the birth rate averages 45 of a baby a year. During the snowless winter, Blake now reports, repor-ts, the birth rate jumped by 650 percent. Now, you figure it out. Practically no snow fell at Taos early in the season and so it was a bit boring out there. And, since six babies were born between mid-June mid-June and mid-August... you can't convince Ernie that there isn't a correlation between increased sexual activity among skiers and snowless winters. win-ters. Nancy Wouri, for example is married to a ski patrolman who had nothing to patrol. Kati Ida Wouri is the result. India Hatch is married to the mountain manager. He had nothing to manage. Now he has George Ian Hatch to manage. Sally Mayer is married to the technical director direc-tor of the ski school and together they engineered Ryan Charles Mayer. Pat Deveaux is married to the manager of the Kandahar Condominiums. And, as they say at the Inn... "there's always room for one more." The newest guest is named Damon Albert Deveaux. He checked in on June 30: -r' Ski instructors have a reputation for this sort of thing and Barbara Briner, who is married to the supervisor of the ski school, welcomed a new student named Adam Bayley Briner. And, finally, Simone McCarthy, married to the sanitation district manager, brought the little lit-tle village Germaine July McCarthy... born, of course in July. The ski reports have shown a remarkable amount of snow as a bounce back for the Rockies this season... expect, in of all places, Taos... where the early season snowfall has been only moderate. This has caused a great deal of speculation. So much so that Ernie has had to end all rumors that he is turning Al's Run into a nursery school. And, you thoueht blackouts were bad.
