Jimmy was a quick little guy with a big mouth. Powering over both of them was Clarence who didnt care about ' the game. By the end, Jimmy and Alexis ' once members of the same team were no longer teammates team-mates and deserved arf unsportsmanlike unsports-manlike penalty. It was a little strange attending an event not held in the gymnasium gymnasi-um as well. No this was held in the old wood shop, now the Black Box Theatre. After spending the last week bitching about the Sundance Festival clogging the streets, packing pack-ing the restaurants and bringing all these weirdos to our small town, I went to my first Sundance event. I say event because it was a . live monologue presented by one . woman. For an hour and a half, this large woman with golden braids and a silver "ring" that covered cov-ered all of one finger, stood at a podium in the Black Box Theatre, part of the new Eccles Center for Performing Arts. The performance, called The Gimmick, was a gripping tale of two artistically talented children growing up in a ghetto. Sipping . . wine on the Left Bank of the . , r,Champs-Elys6es -is .their- -dranw iicicet. Before this animated woman grabbed my attention with special effects consisting of a few spotlights, spot-lights, my skepticism was overflowing. over-flowing. Standing in the waiting list line beforehand was an eye-opening experience, I've been to bike trade shows where bike geeks try to impress each other with tidbits of tech talk no one else could verify or care to know themselves. Sundance is apparently the film industry's version of a tech show. Grasping wait list tickets Nos. 14 and 15 were two young women ; one a five-year Sundance veteran and the other a rookie, embarrassed embar-rassed to admit it was her first . year Sundancing. In front of them was a bald man wearing a sheepskin sheep-skin coat and carrying a grocery . bag containing a white and red hat that reminded me of a Where's Waldo cartoort. Sean Penn graced the first Sundance premiere this guy attended eight years ago in Salt Lake, he may have been with Madonna, not quite sure. The evening's discussion moderator, mod-erator, Glenn Close, entered the foyer of the Eccles Center and sent waiting list ticket holder No. 17 into a frenzy. She couldnt help herself from getting flustered by Dave Fields OF THE RECORD STAFF Twelve years ago Nelleke Meuzelaar created a one-stop children's ski school at ParkWest called Kids Central which provided pro-vided everything parents could ask for when dropping their kids off for ski lessons. Last summer The American Skiing Company (ASL). came to town and " v ,; changed almost everything about Wolf Mountain, except the children's ski and snowboard school. Perfect Turn, ASC's teaching program, is nationally recognized recog-nized and jump-started the parabolic ski industry. Accompanying the Perfect Turn program is the Perfect Kids program for younger students that meshed well with Meuzelaar's existing Kids Central program. pro-gram. "One of the biggest things that we kept was Nelleke's program because it was so renowned and a lot of people recognize it for how professionally run it is," said The Canyons' Communication Director Mike Grass. , Included in Kids Central, located Meuzelaar's tips on skiing for children: -Children must have hats; -Children should have eye protection, pro-tection, goggles are better than sunglasses; -Mittens are usually better than gloves; -If the child wears a helmet, make it a light weight one; -Most children arrive for lessons over-dressed; -Let the children dictate how much they ski, The sky is pretty much the limit." inside the tall building at the base of the mountain, are a licensed day care, sales (ticket) office, children's snowboard and ski program headquarters and an eating area. "The idea is a family comes in and we take care of all their needs," said Meuzelaar. Parents can buy their own lift tickets when purchasing a children's package or drop off a youngster at the day care. For about $80 a day, children four to 12 years old can enroll in a Kids Central program; pro-gram; children seven to 12 are eligible for the snowboard program. According to Meuzelaar, children need more muscle development when learning to snowboard, snow-board, thus the older age minimum for beginning lessons. If, however, you have a particularly gung-ho little one, the Kids Central offerings offer-ings include Skiers in Diapers for students as young as 18 months. "As soon as they can walk, they can be on skis," Meuzelaar said. On the walls of Kids Central are photographs pho-tographs of toddlers on skis, some eating snow and skiing, but definitely skiing. The Skiers in Diapers program is a one-hour, one-on-one lesson yet takes care of the child for the entire day. Instructors include in the lesson whatever they think will make it fun teddy bears, toys or even a bottle. An all-day snowboard or ski lesson includes a lunch served at Kids Central. Thirty men and women who choose to teach children handle the 40-50 kids that come through the program daily. On top of the Professional Ski Instructor of America certification required to teach adults, instructors who work with children must also undergo further youth-oriented training. "It's all different when you deal with children," said Meuzelaar. Kids Central instructors follow a simple sim-ple guideline safety and learning in a fun environment. "There's a lot more emphasis on fun with the children," Meuzelaar added. Classes begin at 10:15 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. daily. The Canyons can be reached at 649-5400. hf''$-- 1 all i SCOTT SINE PARK RECORD Eleven-year-old Megan gets a snowboard lesson from The Canyons snowboard snow-board supervisor Junior Richard.

Negotiating the small rivers running through the snowy future Olympic course proved risky for the local athletes, not to mention skating in the slush. As C.J.
