Show Page 12 Wednesday. March 29, 1978 Untuned By Peter Jellijar Coyote's Ski Repair It is important to understand and realize that spring brings on strange conditions in people as well as in skiing. One of the main problems in spring conditions is suction. Suction occurs when water is sandwiched sand-wiched between two smooth surfaces. When a ski contacts wet snow, a water film develops between the two surfaces and produces suction. At Coyote's ski repair, it has been brought to our awareness that aged whale lard applied in thick coats has completely solved the problem. Brushing it on is recommended, but spreading it with the supplied applicator is sufficient. Another problem we find in spring skiing when we are feeling a high with the sun and the warmth of the day is the afternoon picnic. This often leaves us at a point where catching edges becomes a frequent occurence and stability is at an ebb. Little can be done about stability, but if you find yourself running into picnics, we recommend recom-mend convexing your skis and dulling your edges considerably for maximum forgiveness. With the warm weather around us we also find that our boots don't fit quite like they did in midwinter. mid-winter. When warm, most boot materials tend to become flexible and soft. This changes the skiability characteristics of your boots. Also, your feet, when warm, are much more expanded than in mid-winter when they stay relatively cool, if not cold. All this, in the end, robs you of your skiing sensitivity. We at Coyote's, with the help of tech reps, have found the resin of the Mezcal plant applied between bet-ween the shell of the boot and the bladder increases in-creases that sensitivity immensely. The U.S. team will be using this treatment in their spring series this week and have used it in the past with marked success. , Save a little for the rest of you.

Arnold World Champ Andre Arnold, 22, of Solden, Austria clinched the World Pro Skiing Championship Champion-ship Crown after placing fourth in the slalom half of the $40,000 Labatt Pro Challenge in Calgary, Canada. Swiss veteran Josef Odermatt was the front-runner front-runner most of the winter but faltered in the last three weeks and had to watch Arnold Ar-nold catch and then surpass him with five consecutive victories to become the first rookie champion since Jean-Claude Jean-Claude Killy in 1973. Arnold was forced out of the competition with a pinched pin-ched nerve after the slalom but not before he watched Odermatt get eliminated by Lonny Vanatta, 21, of Steamboat, Colorado in the quarter finals, putting the crown on Arnold's head. "I just think about each race, and not about the championship," said a serious Arnold after the race. Then, breaking into a broad smile, the tall Austrian continued, "But now I am the champion, and I know not what J feel. I am just very tired, but of course very happy." In retrospect, Odermatt said, "I can't complain. I've had a good season so far, (earning nearly $73,000 in prize money) and a good career." Odermatt is the all time high prize money winner win-ner in WPS history, with approximately ap-proximately $190,000 in prize money. "I am very thank ful," Odermatt continued, "especially when I look at some of these other guys who have injuries this season, which could end their careers. I'll just have to try again next winter." It's the third consecutive runner-up position for the fourth year pro, Odermatt. . Arnold captured his tenth win of the year in the giant slalom, defeating Swiss Manfred Jakober in the finals. Jakober came within one-tenth of a second of upsetting up-setting Arnold after the two runs. It was till another win in the intermediate boys giant slalom as Dave Bonney finished first followed by Matias Alvarez sixth, Malcolm Vance dl2th, and Brooke Williamson 13th. Another first place trophy was added by Arne Hultquist was finished first among the senior B boys. Park City girls owned the novice ranks. Polly Ivers took first, Dory Donner was second, Susan Knudson was third, Michelle Buck finished fourth, Nancy Donner was sixth and Kim Beattie came in eighth. The older local skiers will have the home course advantage ad-vantage this Saturday as they compete in the Tribune Classic a sure crowd pleaser.
