Show FIS alpine Utah Winter Games' ' ' ' i:f f it" Competitors edged hard on the rai k Liiy oki rtrea. Jan. 5-6 was the first and busiest weekend of the 1991 Utah Winter Games. The Park City area was host to a number of alpine and cross country skiing events Jan. 5-6. Here are a few of the highlights from those events: In alpine skiing, some of the nation's na-tion's top collegiate skiers and members of the U.S. Ski Team kicked kick-ed off a week of Western Regional Technical Series races with a giant slalom Jan. 6 at the Park City Ski Area. Colorado University skier Toni Standteiner won the race, which was part of the Utah Winter Games. Standteiner was second after the first run, but came back to win with a combined time of two minutes, 7.11 seconds. U.S. Ski Team members Tim Hanson Han-son and Paul Casey Puckett finished second and third, respectively. The day's most stunning run came from U.S. racer Nate Bryan. Bryan was in 18th place after falling on his first run. But he ripped through the gates to notch the fastest second-run time by seven-tenths of a second, to finish seventh overall. Pre-race favorite Jeremy Nobis, who was recently promoted to the U.S. Ski Team A Team, failed to complete his first run. According to U.S. coach Thor Kallerud, Nobis, a Park City native, had trouble at the top of the course and was trying to make up time when he skied out of the course halfway down. The Park City Ski Area hosted a women's FIS giant slalom race the next day. Former U.S. Ski Team member Heidi Bowes won the race with a two-run time of 2 minutes, 25.33 seconds.

Aalberg, one of the strongest American skiers in the distance events, stayed close to "four or five" NCAA competitors throughout most of the race. "It was just the last mile... I started to pull away," he said. "I got about five seconds ahead before the last stretch." He ended up winning by six seconds over second-place finisher Bjorn Svensson, a Colorado University Univer-sity ski team member. Stig Mattsson of the University of Alaska-Anchorage Alaska-Anchorage was third. Park City residents Dave Hanscom, Dan Gibson and Ellen Gibson all finished first in their respective age groups, as did Toly and Harris.

I made a few mistakes in my race yesterday and I didn't make any today.. .it was a good run." Olson, who returned recently from the World Cup races in Europe, added, add-ed, "I needed to win this race today. I had a pretty tough December on the World Cup circuit. When I return to the circuit in a few days, this will help my confidence." - ... . i ! l itp, i A tl .i' DEER VALLEY DRIVE Could be investment condo or primary residence.
