Show Wednesday, April 14, 1976 Pcgo8 Sf Ml L mi1 Celebrity Invitational Set To Go byJimTedford This is the last edition of "Bodies and Boards" for this winter. I hope you have all been able to improve your skiing by some little tid bit of knowledge you picked up in my column. The big thing to remember is mileage. Hot skiers got where they are by hours and hours of practice. Sp, be patient, it will come. But if it doesn't, all is not lost. Summer will soon be here and with it comes the thrill of , sailing. If you haven't tried it you are missing one of life's finest experiences. Movement without noise, smoke and vibration. Sailing can be compared to skiing in that if you like to ski slow and leisurely you would probably perfer to sail larger, slower boats. But if you like to ski all-out all-out down the men's GS you might consider Hobie Cat sailing. "Always on the ragged edge" would be an appropriate description of both endeavors. You haven't Jived until you stand on the rail of a Hobie 16, suspended five or six feet above the water by a thin trapeze wire, whilst screaming across the water at 20 knots. WOW!

' This weekend's Jill St. John-Paul Masson Celebrity Invitational is "shaping up extremely well," according to U.S. Ski Team public relations director Joan Chase. "It will be even better if we have a storm," she said and then added, "We're not concerned. There's plenty, of snow still on the mountain and the weather is conducive to a good Spring Celebration."

A final awards luncheon will be held Tuesday af ternoon. ; by Jim Miller Park West Touring School , Back country skiing is hardly a new sport to Utah. Dedicated outdoorsmen have, been skiing Utah's snow bowls long before I was even born, before the lifts at Alta were installed, before the word "powder" meant anything more than a woman's cosmetic. But I can safely say, never before have so many people taken off into the . wild country ' than in this year Helicopters, crowded lift lines, sophisticated touring . equipment, equip-ment, the "back to nature" fad, and the certainty cer-tainty that it can be done safely have all contributed con-tributed to the amazing exodus. A bi-monthly magazine,. Powder, reports on new powder areas, the Salt Lake media publishes daily avalanche information; even Newsweek magazine had a short article on Snowbird's helicoptor skiing. With this sudden influx of discovers, many of the Alpine ski areas, X-C instructors and the comic book character, Mr. Natural .are wondering, "What's it all mean." Rock climbers (and lovers) have always been notorious for their- constant jabbering and preoccupation with the questions of "why?", ''How to do it',' and how to get the most enjoyment en-joyment from their sport. Seems like some of them spend more time talking over these questions than in actual climbing. Now skiers are faced with these confounded questions and for lack of a better word, we'll classify them under the general term Ethics. This month's Powder magazine has a classic ethics argument in the form of a two-part article on backside skiing. ' The first half is written by an obvious rebel author who shouts defiance as he neatly skis past a "closed area" sign while the other is of a sober ski patrolman explaining impatiently the necessities of closing off the back country. These guys are as far apart ig their opinions as a piton climber discussing clean climbing with a chock-man.' chock-man.' " . ' ' " ' ; Part of the wonder of back country travel is the constant Paradox that is everywhere. Example: tip f"f Other ( well-known names You have to "worK" to nave "run.

His only weapon, and this I think is the u key to the,"why" of all this, is his own free weill. : : The woods have no set laws. The traveler may , v do as he pleases. He chooses his own particular. way of doing things, he goes as far as he wants, ?i he picks his own techniques, he allows the paradox to affect him only as he wants it to. ;.3 Sometime 5 km is a good, workout while other ,t days it is just to warm up. Ethics will touch the 7 traveler only as much as he feels the need. , v The Great Orange Peel debate is a prime j example. People that would never even consider 2 leaving behind unsightly plastic wrappers, beer cans, etc. would think nothing of leaving an j orange peel at the lunch stop. Others condemn 3 this practice, citing that even an orange peel is j unsightly. Me? Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't, but I am notorious for always leaving a trail of peanut shells behind Hansel and Gretel l. style. i Ethics can play other rolls too. Helicopter skiing vs. powder skiing on tour-skis, heavy equipment vs. light equipment, building a fire or ' leaving the woods untouched and using a small 1 stove. Each wilderness traveler chooses his own 3 form of ethics and approaches the paradox with ' as much freedom as his own free will allows. This is in contrast to dealing with the civilized : world of man. Traveling in the woods is like a ! blank piece of paper laying before an author. He 1 is free to write or draw whatever he chooses ' while dealing with the world of man is like filling 1 out a pre-printed job application. ' 1 I hope in the future people will stop bickering about what "rules" other people have broken. I don't care if I "shouldn't" ski alone, or shouldn't have skied that slope etc. I did it and that's my choice. Alpine areas should allow back country jsaciingirom -theirj -lifts, l a m -in favor of ; doing W3 things oh the spur of the wom ent'. Let's get out iff "mh the woods and enjoy them regardless of whether we have the "right" equipment or enough food or even "experience." Let's just go and approach them with the same respect that you would expect (but not necessarily demand) from another person.
