Hair flying, Park City's Tori Pillinger races past a gate en route to a third-place finish in Saturday's Satur-day's giant slalom. Visiting racers set the pace in local Nor-Am qualifiers photos by David Hampshire by David Hampshire "It was the Rose Bowl for a lot of our kids." That's how Bob Marsh, head coach of the Park City Ski Team, described the exhausting series of Nor-Am qualifying races held last week in Utah. The races, which help determine who will compete in the North American championships later in the season, attracted top talent from all over the Western states, including some members of the U.S. Ski Team. The original schedule called for the Park City Ski Area to host two giant slalom races, Jan. 14 and 15. However, because of poor snow at ' Nordic Valley, another four giant slaloms were added to the Park City slate. Marsh and his counterparts coun-terparts at the Park City Race Department had their hands full. "Six days of that kind of racing is just boggling," he said. In addition to the Park City schedule, a series of slalom races was held at Snow Basin and Snowbird. To no one's surprise, the big names were the big winners. win-ners. In Park City, Beth Madsen of the U.S. Ski Team and Billy Dorris of Mission Ridge each won two races. The other winners were Karen Ludwigsen of PNSA and Jack Miller of Steamboat Steam-boat Springs. But the members of the Park City Ski Team also posted some respectable results. "Probably the best performance per-formance out of the whole week was Tori's," Marsh said. Marsh was referring to the third-place finish posted Saturday by Tori Pillinger, a 16-year-old member of the Park City squad. In two other Park City races, she finished 17th and 26th. Local downhill specialist Roxanne Toly also posted a top-ten finish, taking 8th place Saturday, in addition to a pair of 19th-place finishes earlier in the week. Leilani Soares, whose specialty is slalom, picked I I 4- i v A 1 - 1 Flashing her dental work, Roxanne Toly charges for the finish line. up a 13th place Saturday, her best showing in the three Park City giant slaloms. Pillinger and Soares also finished 9th and 10th in a Nor-Am slalom held at Snowbird during the week. However, in general the Park City racers had trouble on the slalom courses, both at Snow Basin and Snowbird. "I think it was mainly because we haven't trained it as much," Marsh suggested. In the men's races, the most encouraging local performance per-formance came from 15-year-old Jason Lawson, who powered his way to 12th place in Sunday's finale. Scott Williams also skied well in that race, finishing 16th. While the attention of the older skiers was focused on the Nor-Am qualifiers other members of the Park City Ski Team were competing in Jackson Hole and Powder Mountain. In chilly Jackson Hole, where the temperature rarely climbed over about five degrees, Park City skiers Jere Calmes, Stephanie Palmer, Jeremy Nobis, Erin Calmes and Andrea An-drea Peterson all won trophies. "An outstanding performance perfor-mance was put in by Jere Calmes on Saturday, finishing his first run in third place in the Class III ( 12- and 13-year-old) boys," reported Coach Patti Formichelli. "After an outstanding race on his second run, he was told to take a rerun because a spectator skied through the finish. He returned to the start and put together (another) hot run, even though course conditions had deteriorated considerably. "In the girls class, Stephanie Palmer uncorked a first run Sunday to be in 8th place overall and 1st in Class III. Skiing a solid second run, she finished second. "Erin Calmes took second place overall, and Andrea Peterson finished fifth on Sunday after a second-place finish Saturday." At Powder Mountain, top local performers included Danny Tebbs, who won both his races for JIV (10- and 11-year-old) boys, and Heather Circo, who posted a third and a second among the JV (9 and under) girls in her first year on the team. Park City's Jason Parkin also brought home a trophy finishing first in one of two races for JV boys. "It was a long day for the youngsters, skiing four courses cour-ses of 55-60 seconds a run," said Coach Dick Stoner. "The top part of the course was quite steep, and the sugary snow deteriorated quite quickly ... Some of the kids who were the better skiers, and were going for it, fell." Shannon Nobis, another local racer, brought home two second-place trophies among the JIV girls. For more results, please turn to the Scoreboard section. sec-tion. In competition this weekend, many of the older racers will be travelling to Kelly Canyon, near Idaho Falls, meanwhile, the Park City Ski Area will hold a giant slalom Sunday for JIV and JV competitors. M iddle school gym draws raves from men's basketball league "Playing at the (Treasure Mountain) Middle School has improved the league 100 percent," said Park City Recreation Director Bruce Henderson about having the men's basketball league games in the million-dollar facility this winter. "All the comments from the players have been positive posi-tive about playing there," continued Henderson. "Also, everything is a lot calmer." Henderson attributes the players' positive vibrations to the size of the middle school's gym, which has a pro-size court. Last year the league was played at the old middle school on a court two-thirds as large. Also, there is a 15-foot buffer zone around the new court. Previously the players would collide with walls or bleachers. The added space allows the players to move around more, so there is less chance of confrontation caused by crowding. Henderson feels that unnecessary contact and fouls will be reduced this year. "The players griped a lot to the referees about the fouls, which I don't like to see, since this is a recreation league and is for 'recrea tion,' not compeuiion, said. lie In this year's league there are 10 teams, three more than last season. The teams will face each other once during the season, which began on Jan. 17 and will go until April 4. The games are on Mondays and Wednesdays, Wednes-days, beginning at 6:30, with two games played a night. The teams are The Claim-jumper, Claim-jumper, Cofer Chiropractic, The Flyers, Irish Camel, Jeremy Ranch, Kamas Valley Val-ley Lumber, Park City Nads, Park City Recreation Department, De-partment, Slampunks, and Summit Lumber. Seven of the teams are being sponsored spon-sored by local businesses. Henderson gives the Claimjumper the edge in winning the league title with Irish Camel, last year's winner, also in contention. The other teams, according accord-ing to Henderson, are better balanced this year. Fifty percent of the players are new to the league this season. Henderson suggests sug-gests the use of the middle school was a factor, since the players will also have the use of the locker rooms and showers. He added that he is very grateful to Principal Brian Schiller for letting the league use his gym.
