Show ttmdjy, March 10, U76 Pag 6 pv'' 'Ann- n .1 . . ' -. 0 BOABEK We should all be safety conscious when we ski. Sometimes it is easy to forget the rules of the road. If everyone would use a little more common com-mon sense the hill would be safer for all involved. Here are a few things we should all remember. 1. The downhill skier always has the right of way. This is because the skier approaching from the rear can see the skiers ahead of him but the skiers ahead cannot see him because their backs are turned. If you must pass a skier do it slowly and sing out with an "on your left" or "on your right." . 2. Always look uphill before you start out so as not to interfere with oncoming traffic. 3. Always use safety straps or a good ski stop. 4. Do not ski fast or out of control on busy funs. This is especially important on Claimjumper where there are alot of beginners and ski school classes. , 5. Obey all closed area signs. 6,. Don't ski when you are overly tired. Quit one run earlier and ski tomorrow. NEXT WEEK: How to ski with your HANDS.

COPPER MOUNTAIN 1 Copper Mountain Resort Association 200 Solitude Station Copper Mountain, CO 80443(303) 668-2883 Snoop PQ0S mem Aon M With the mysterious magic of an alchemist, France's Henri Duvillard is turning snow into gold on the 1976 World Pro Skiing tour. Racing in the Hang Ten Cup dual-challenge giant slalom and slalom at Hunter Mountain, N.Y. Feb. 28 and 29, respectively, the second-year second-year pro snapped up his eighth and ninth wins of the current campaign a record-setting third clean sweep this season. Asked how long he could maintain his astounding victory pace nine wins in 13 starts Duvillard popped, "For the rest of the season, I'm sure! World Pro Skiing is a gold mine for me." No doubt it is. The 28-year-old tour leader's manufacturers Dynastar, Solomon, Nordica, Scott match his victory purses with bonus bucks. So after seven weekends of racing, the fabulous Frenchman has j banked nearly $80,000. Jean-Noel Augert claimed, $2,500 for second in the giant slalom; Tyler Palmer, third ranking American on the tour, was third for $1,500, Austrian Wilfried Muxel picked up $1,000 for fourth, enough to ease the severe sting of multiple face abrasions suffered in a nose-first nose-first sliding fall off the final giant slalom bump. Perry Thompson of Mammoth, Calif, nearly outraced Duvillard on the turniest pro slalom in years. But the fidgety youngster spun off course, in the final tftyJyards of their first dual, ' -gtvingDuda'-sff li&Rsi&ond victory margin. In . the rematch, Thompson's victory was a mere .304. Swiss Josef Odermatt grabbed third, but the gap between himself and Duvillard in the season's standings continues inexorably to expand. Augert, defending 1975 Hang Ten Cup Slalom winner, was fourth. Women Winners Twenty-two lady pros arrived at Hunter to challenge the salted men's race course, a steep and tricky layout with built-in bumps averaging six feet in height. Ginny Honeyman, a one-time Canadian senior champion in 1972, raced off with top honors first in the slalom for $2,400 and third in the giant slalom for $700. Cece Teague of Sugarbush, Vt, won the giant , slalom Saturday afternoon, Sun Valley's Judy Nagel, a 1968 U.S. Olympian, ranked second for $1,000. Ann Cor rock banked $500 for fourth behind Honeyman. . Canadian Diane Acton rated second in the slalom, Katie Morning of Sun Valley was third, as she had been in 1975's Hang Ten Cup slalom, while ladies' slalom titelist Barbara Ann Cochran settled t for fourth., :' The women, who admitted -they had trained only 1 moderately if at all for the events, were consistently five to six seconds slower than the men on the same courses. No other women pro events are planned. The ladies raced for $10,000 purse; the men for $130,000.
