Cross country shows winter beauty BY JIM HOWELLS Although it might be hard to convince some fl.ulanders that its wintertime, the mountains and plateaus of southern Utah he under a deep blanket of the high country sealed off behind a wall of white. To those willing to bum a few calories, the winter snows open a whole new realm of backcountry travel. With recent advances in equipment and techniques, uossiountry skiers can now travel wherever snow covers the ground. The most spectacular tour in the area is also one of the easiest. The Cedar Breaks road, closed for the winter, is accessible either from the top of Cedar Canyon or from Brian Head. The road is nearly always packed from snowmobile traffic, and this winter the state has been grooming the track. There are views into Cedar or so, and the bristlecone pines Breaks e ery half-mil-e Hinging to the very rim of the breaks are unique to southwest Utah. An interesting side trip off the Breaks road follows a snowcat track from behind the state highway barn on the Cedar Canvon end of the toad to the summit of Blowhard Mountain. The views from the summit extend 100 miles in every direction. The trail to the summit is uphill all the way, making the trip down an easy, if speedy descent. For those who prefer a groomed trail with a set track, Brian Head Cross Country Center in Brian Head maintains up to 25 miles of trail, depending on snow conditions. The best of these leaves the Panguitch Lake- - Brian Head road at the Cedar Breaks boundary, winds through the woods above Rattlesnake Canyon, then circles back along the rim of Cedar Breaks before returning to the starting point. The whole loop is three miles long. A trail fee, payable at the Brian Head X-Center, helps support trail maintenance. Closer to Cedar City, Right-hanCanyon, five miles the access Cedar to plateaus above Canyon, gives up Cedar City. Depending on the snow level, this tour can start right at the main highway, but more often begins a mile or two up the Right-han- d Canyon road. The road gains altitude quickly, so be prepared for a fast (and often icy) trip down. Farther up the canyon the Webster Flat road provides one of the nicest tours in the region, with view's of the Kolob Terrace to the west and the canyons of the Virgin River to the south. The road winds down through southfacing aspen glades for two miles before coming to a fork in the road. The left fork goes deep into the plateau, while the right fork veers to the north, ending at Woods Ranch in Cecar Canyon, two miles later. Spotting a car at Woods Ranch lets this be an trip, suitable even for beginning tourers. The Duck Creek area, 30 miles from Cedar City on also has good The snowbound summer roads make ideal winter avenues. The Crystal Cascade, Navajo Lake, and Deer Valley roads offer flat touring hills nearby to with many, inviting, pow'der-coverepolish telemark technique on. d U-1- d By far the best high mountain touring in southern is in the Tushar Mountains above Beaver. Utah Starting pitchers Mard Beavers and Carl 1 1 Keliipuleule gave up between them only hits and two runs as the BYU Cougars sw'ept four games from the Thunderbird baseball club, capped by 16-- 1 and 14-- wins here yesterday. In the first game, they sent five balls over the fence, one of them a grand slam by Dave Morrow who drove in 8 RBIs in the the game. Beavers, the ace for BYU, went distance giving up one run on seven hits and striking out nine batters. In the second game, more of the same, as the Cougars pounded out 16 hits and two more homers. Keliipuleule pitched brilliantly with a perfect game before going 4 the sixth inning. It was just a after leaving long day for the SUSC diamondmen. We came in here knowing they were and we had just dropped two to Mesa. So the guys were really kind of hungry, said BYU coach Gary Pullins. We were being very careful in the field defensively. ..and after the losses to Mesa the players realized they have to play to win these games. He also thought the injury to Mike Frederico in the first game took a lot out of the attack. But the Y fields a strong baseball team, and it will help the SUSC team as they travel on the road to Grand Canyon. According to SUSC coach Bill Groves, Well come back. The guys were just trying too hard. They really wanted to beat BYU. ..there are some positive things from a 1 4-- series like this. Tuesday afternoon the two teams opened with the first of two doubleheaders, with BYU sweeping both games. The Cougars jacked out five home runs in the first game, two by Clark Clifford, and won a 15-- 8 behind the decision, and then beat SU pitching of Ron Masino in the nightcap. BYU scored in every inning in the opener, miscues. taking advantage of several SUSCs defense was below par, with the outfield committing several errors on routine fly balls. Colby Ward went the distance for the Cougs. He was charged with four earned n second inning. runs in the And then settled down giving up only two more in the sixth. In the second game, the Y opened the scoring on a two run blast by Gary Cooper. Then in the bottom half of the inning, Masino gave up five runs in the first, on shot two homers. The first was a two-ru- n given up to Jim Kotkas, who showed his power by hitting it over the opposite field fence in right. And then the got three more on John Rchardsons home run down the left field line. But that was all the could muster run production the until the bottom of the seventh, when Kotkas belted a solo shot for the final tally. Masino struck out nine, while his teammates helped him out by scoring two runs in the second and four more in the third. Steve Tate gave up only one earned run in 4 Vj innings of fine relief for SU. 9-- 5 six-ru- I Held each Thursday at 11 a.m. in the Auditorium April 3, 1986 May 1, 1986 RUSSELL MEANS MILES CAP FERRY Native American Activist Utah Commissioner of Agriculture April 10, 1986 Speaker Not Confirmed May 8, 1986 April 17, 1986 DR.
