Stein Eriksen wins Golden, Quill Award Confirming the adage that older is better, 65-year-old Olympian Stein Eriksen, Deer Valley Resort's director of skiing, has been awarded the annual Golden Quill Award.

Town race series concludes The Town Race Series concluded with a giant slalom on Park City's PayDay run April 5, one week after its scheduled finish. After being postponed a week earlier due to dense fog, the race on hard-packed snow gave local racers one last chance to overtake each other in the six-race series. Jesse Hunt finished first overall to win the men's afternoon race and overtake Bill Skinner in the season-long season-long standings in the Men's Pro class.

She also breezed to the slalom crown with 140 points, including four victories. For Nobis, the performance was equally significant. She's a promising skier whose results tailed-off badly a year ago and she was dropped by the U.S. Ski Team from the Western Regional Team this season. She's obviously skied her way back into contention with the U.S. squad. "Shannon answered the question," US ST alpine chief Dennis Agee said Monday after reviewing the results. "We put the question to her- how serious are you about your skiing?- and I I ' - J , j -i) .i i n '.l--mmm i ,. mmm.. j ,rj j participants gather in their own interpretation of Glasnost member U.S. squad for this trip to the Southern Urals. The sights ranged from dreary overpopulated industrial cities to bucolic villages reminiscent of Dr. Zhivago. The ski areas of this region were small and--by Utah standards-flat. One was no more than a clearing under massive power lines, with lift service consisting of overused t-bars and a frayed cable tow to which skiers attached hooks to begin moving. the Town Race. class are as follows: tie Tom McDonald, Dub Shawhan (Men's A); Julie Chamberlain (Women's A); Nu Skin (A Team); Jesse Hunt (Men's Pro); Rachel Salomon (Women's Pro); Steeps Pro (Pro Team); Julie Spidell (Women's Pro Vet); Brian Burnett (Men's Pro Vet); Advance Reservations think she's let everyone know, especially herself, that, yes, she wants to ski. Yes, it's important to her to get in shane. to set serious about what she was doing." "I'm really proud, of, her development program and what she did, going back to Vermont's Green Mountain Valley School, getting her head on straight and then letting that talent develop. Agee said Nobis plans to hookup hook-up with brother Jeremy, who's recuperating from another midseason knee problem, and the two will hold their own mini-training mini-training camp over the next week or so. That's really great She didn't say. Well, end of the season. Time to go find a beach and sit in the sun. Shannon's working on further improving and Jeremy's going to work with her. ItH be terrific for bothorem." He, Though their ski technology is behind the times, credit must by given to the Russians for their true love of the sport. The ski events were a g.s., a slalom and a 5-km cross-country event for skaters and sled skiers. U.S. skiers dominated the alpine events. In the g.s., Park City's Craig Armstrong and Kim Francom placed first and third, respectively, among the three-trackers, three-trackers, while Mike Plante and with GS (Pro Vet Teams); Jim Clifford (Men's Vet); Margee hinkley (Women's Vet); Grub Steak Marker (Vet Team); Kelly Snyder (Men's C); Lauren Keiser (Women's Q; Steeps C (C Team); Subaru Justys (B Team); Doug Webster (Men's B); Amy Knode (Women's B). high note And Terzian? "What a great comeback this winter," according to Agee. "We think she's made a very logical progression after two years of injuries." "The way she's managed herself and what she's done is encouraging not only for Kristi but for others. She was patient and that was such a key, being patient Yeah, a great role model for younger skiers with her determination and commitment but also a great example for other skiers coming back from injuries." "We've got Eva Twardokens coming back, and Hilary Lindh, Olympic downhill silver medalist coming back and they can look at Kristi, and if there was any doubt, they can see what she's done and say, Hey, I know I'm with the right doctor and I'm on the right Continued on C3 recently in the city of Yetketerinebert in Russia. Doug Holmes placed first and third, respectively, in the combined LW4LW9 class. The Park City skiers excelled in the first run of the slalom the next day, but struggled on the second run. Armstrong missed a sweep of the two races when he missed the last gate of the second run. Francom was bumped to second place overall after being swallowed by a hole five feet from the finish line. Recreation improvement at mirror lake Submitted by the Kamas Ranger District Two' projects which should add to visitor enjoyment are being planned at the popular mirror lake campground east of Kamas. The Kamas Ranger District of the Wasatch-Cache national forest has been analyzing both a nature trail around mirror lake itself, and a new ampitheater near the already developed picnic area. Both projects could begin as early as this summer. The proposed nature trail would be constructed on the same general alignment as the trail which has extended around mirror lake for many years. However, much of the trail tread would be constructed as a "floating" board walk or some type of harder surface. This will eventually make the trail accessable to physically challenged visitors. Fishing stations with access to the waters edge will also be built and opportunities for interpretation of natural resource features add to the "nature trail" concept Parts of the existing trail that have severe soil and vegetation damage will be closed and, restored. The ampitheater project is intended to provide a facility for educational and interpretive presentations for the thousands of forest visitors who came to mirror lake last season. Kamas District Ranger, Melissa Blackwell stated, "with the high concentration of visitors in this area the presence of a large campground and popular lake, and the adjacent High Uintas Wilderness, this appears to be an ideal site for the ampitheater." The ampitheater would consist of a 15 by 20 foot stage natural wood benches and a wheelchair accessable trail leading from the parking lot and campground. Spectacular views of Bald Mountain and Mirror Lake would be seen through the surrounding trees. Public comment has been ongoing with both of these proposals and decisions to proceed will be made in the near future. Interested persons may get more information or comment on these projects by contacting the Kamas Ranger District 50 East Center Street , Kamas Utah 84306 Public comments will be accepted until April 15, 1993. . dm r Mike Plante and Doug Holmes finished the slalom first ard second, respectively. the people of Yetkaterineberg were warm and friendly. Volunteers came together to pull off the event successfully. The local media, T.V. and newspaper played up the competition. The Park City skiers hope that next year the Russian government will be stable, so that they may schedule a return trip. |
