T.iJ MT- I i it V '!vk by Jim Terrain can have a big effect on our skiing. If we are skiing inappropriate terrain for our ability it can be devastating to our learning progression. Easy runs are good to warm-up on because they increase our confidence. This is also good terrain for practicing new maneuvers or refining the many skills involved in skiing correctly. But there is one drawback to skiing easy terrain continually - it lulls us into a false sense of confidence because we can do things half right and get away with it. It is a good idea to keep progressing to a little tougher terrain. Don't go way over your head. This will only serve to frighten you and when you're scared you set back and skiing becomes next to impossible. Moguls are another big misconception. Many people think the ultimate thing in skiing is to ski steep mogully hills with their feet locked together. Don't forget we must perfect our five basic skills (leverage, weight transfer, steering, edging and flexion) on smooth terrain before we can hope to ski the bumps correctly.

Sun Valley - Frenchman Henri Duvillard continued his record setting ways here last Saturday and Sunday in the Seventh Annual Lange Cup. With relative ease, the 1976 World Pro Skiing Champion won Saturday's giant slalom for his seventh consecutive racing triumph, his 14th victory of the season and repeated his overall win of the Lange Cup, becoming the first skier to twice claim the coveted title. But unlike the preceding three meets, in which King "Henri" swept both the giant slalom and slalom, the 1976 Lange Cup saw. Duviuard smrrtierr in ine"sunnav Pat Russel of-32 slalom matches.
