""""""" Pro Skiers Ready For Richest Event The world's premier professional ski racers will assemble in Aspen, Colorado, December 11-17, to begin the ninth winter of World Pro Skiing in the richest ski event ever the $80,000 Budvveiser Pro Spree The week-long carnival at this world skiing capital will include dual challenge slalom and giant slalom pro races, a special pro event and several community races including a Bud-weiser Bud-weiser Town Challenge, Bartender's Bar-tender's Cup race and a Celebrity Pro-Am. The pro giant slalom and slalom events will climax the extravaganza on Dec. 16 and 17, respectively. This will make the third year of Budweiser association with World Pro Skiing. The first Budweiser Cup races, in 1975, were won by Henri Duvillard (slalom) and Bob Cochran (giant -lalom). Last year's spectacular spec-tacular was captured by Duvillard (slalom) and Manfred Man-fred Jakober (giant slalom). Budweiser is also closely associated with women's freestyle skiing and with the U.S. Ski Team, to which it has contributed nearly $35,000 in recent years. Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk But-termilk will host the Bud.-weiser Bud.-weiser Pro Spree activities throughout the week. "The Budweiser Pro Spree," explains Bob Beat-tie, Beat-tie, World Pro Skiing Director, Direc-tor, "will be the ultimate ski race week, and an appropriate ap-propriate start to what promises to be the most successful suc-cessful and exciting season that our tour has ever enjoyed. en-joyed. World Pro Skiing has turned the corner in this highly competitive world of sports, and Budweiser has been invaluable in helping us to reach this plateau." August A. Busch III, Anheuser-Busch president, said, "Budweiser is again pleased to offer the best ski OKI racers in the world the largest purse for them to compete. We have been delighted with our association with World Pro Skiing, and we are pleased to sustain the relationship." The Budweiser Pro Spree will receive international attention at-tention since there is no clear-cut favorite in this year's race for the pro crown. Runner-up for the past two years, Josef Odermatt of Switzerland, is the odds-on favorite now that reigning champion Henri Duvillard of France has retired. Oder-matt Oder-matt finished the 1976-77 season 15 points behind Duvillard with $55,890 in winnings. He is racing on home ground having purchased pur-chased a condominium in Aspen last spring. The winner of last year's Budweiser giant slalom, Switzerland's Manfred Jakober, also makes his American home in Aspen. Those transplanted Coloradans must compete against a tough group of foes,-, including Tyler and Terry Palmer, Perry Thompson Thom-pson and Werner Bleiner. World Pro Skiing Champion Cham-pion of 1975, Hank Kashiwa, is back in prime condition since suffering an injury in January, 1976. Kashiwa is confident that he will return as a top contender for this year's top spot. A first seed World Cup giant slalom -racer, Engelhard Pargaetzi of Switzerland, will, make his pro debut at the Budweiser event, as will top Canadian "Jungle" Jim Hunter and Japan's pro champion Haruhisa Chiba. I "Combining the top professional skiers in the world with the world's number num-ber one selling beer at world famous Aspen' will fhaWtoie ' Budweiser Pro Spree an unforgettable un-forgettable week of ski racing," Beattie said.
