Mortensen provided the horses for the PCMR patrollers’ three teams. Continued from B-1 Patrollers contend in skijoring ification. “Even in the face of this horse looking me in the eye and saying, through their expression, ‘I’m going to kill you now,’ we persevered,” Pozzi said. Somewhat ironically, Pozzi had joined the team in part to help overcome his fear of horses (which he said he had made strides in by the tournament’s end). His grandparents owned horses in his home state of Michigan, and he said they’d made a bad impression. In the past few days, Pozzi had gotten to know Honey and the other horses. “I really tried to warm up to the horses a little bit – feed them some apples, scratch behind their ears – that way when they look behind them as they are running and I’m chasing them, they don’t feel like I’m a predator,” he said. “They are like ‘oh, that’s that guy who gave me apples, he’s cool.’” He also said that skijoring was a natural fit for patrollers, who often carry objects and ski off drops as part of their job. “It’s like a patroller’s to-do list,” he said of the sport. Though she had been spooked, Honey eventually made it to the end of the course, but stopped before pulling Pozzi to the finish line. Continued from B-3 The Park Record’s Wasatch “Help Wanted” section Citizens has the jobs you need to support Series your gear addiction weather and perfectly groomed track, the skiing conditions weren’t ideal. A storm the previous day, plus the early morning single-digit temperature, made the snow a bit soft and slow. Nevertheless, 181 intrepid athletes bundled up with extra layers and neck gaiters to toe the start line. This was the final race in the series, so season awards were also at stake. Over the season, skiers accumulated points for all their races, with their best four totaled at the end for a season score. Many classes came down to the wire. In the women’s open group, for example, either Continued from B-1 Sports briefs SHALLOW WATER LIFEGUARD TRAINING Basin Recreation is hosting a Red Cross Shallow Water Lifeguard Training for participants ages 15 and up to learn rescue techniques in water five to seven feet deep. Topics include water rescue skills, surveillance and recognition, first aid, breathing and cardiac emergencies, CPR, AED and more. There will be a mandatory pre-screen testing Pozzi, left stranded, completed the run by skate skiing across the finish. Their run on Saturday was better. Honey had hesitated in the middle of the course, but didn’t rear. “A solid run – under five minutes” Pozzi said with a laugh. In addition to riding in the event, the group had a booth where people could talk with patrollers, and performed an avalanche dog demonstration following the pro round. They were confident the avalanche dog demonstration would go better. “They are really effective, and that’s part of what we’re psyched to (show) with the demonstration,” Solomon said. The handler, Lauren Edwards, and her dog, Tucker, were coming off of a tragic operation – a recovery in the La Sal Mountains south of Moab, in late January when an avalanche had buried a snowmobiler. A group of eight riders who were with the snowmobiler searched for the buried friend, but were unable to find the person before nightfall. The day after the accident, a line of searchers gathered to probe the avalanche debris with poles, but, it turned out they were searching in the wrong part of the slide. Tucker and Edwards were part of a two-dog team that found the body of the avalanche victim soon after arriving. “It might take the probe line three to five days to recover some of these things, and it took the dog … probably 20 minutes,” Solomon said. “(The La Sal accident), I think, has helped the snowmobile community also see the importance of avalanche safety and knowing what equipment you need, what training you need and how important it is to have a prepared partner.” Solomon hoped that a good dog demonstration at the skijoring event would help attract donors to support the avalanche teams through the Backcountry Bow Wow, a fundraiser on March 21 at O.P. Rockwell in Park City. Soon after the Pro category finished on Saturday, Solomon explained the dog demonstration that the spectators were about to see through the PA system. One of the patrollers, Max Magill, had been buried in snow in a slope beside the cross-country track above the skijoring course. Lauren and Tucker started searching several hundred feet away. Though the crowd chatted through Solomon’s explanation, as soon as Tucker, a black lab, started traversing the white slope, he drew the spectators’ attention. The dog searched in outand-back trips, crisscrossing the terrain until he caught the scent of a human beneath the snow. “As soon as he starts digging, that means he’s found someone,” Solomon said over the loudspeaker. And as soon as Tucker poked his head down into the snow, the crowd gave a cheer. The lab tugged at Magill, who emerged from the pit in his red uniform and waved to the cheering crowd. All eyes were on the patrollers. Davenport or Toly could have ended up with the most points overall, so there was extra pressure on them to go fast. Many Park City skiers ended up in the medals in Saturday’s race, and quite a few took home trophies for the series. The Wilson family each won a medal in the final event to put all of them on top of their age groups for the winter. Sabine has dominated the under-16 class, winning all her series races. Her parents, Isaac and Dodi, will be rooting for her to do the same at the Junior Nationals in a couple of weeks. The Pages also ended the season on a high note. Pearl Page had a clean sweep in the under-8 class, far out-pacing all her rivals in all five events. Milo Page got his needed victory among the under-12s to get the winner’s season trophy. Emma Page was just out of the medals on Saturday in the under-16 category, but skied fast enough for third place overall. Park City Ski Teamer Wes Campbell won his third series event to take home the under-16 season trophy. After a slow start, he’s been showing great improvement over the winter and is headed for the Junior Nationals. Sevi Miller won his fourth gold medal on Saturday to wrap up the under-8 class. Tegan Hoffman had three wins and a second to top the under-10 group. In the adult classes, Parkites Debbie Wagner, Nancy Fichter, and Marit Glenne were undefeated to win their age groups for the series. Carolyn Sterret and Laura Patten were close all season in the 50-54 class, but Carolyn was able to take home the top trophy. We couldn’t have asked for better weather and ski conditions for all five races in the Black Diamond Wasatch Citizens Series. The combination of sun and lots of snow combined to bring out more racers than we’ve seen for quite a while. We’re hoping the cross-country skiing will last until April this year at all the local venues. on March 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the PC Aquatic Center (Ecker Hill Middle School).
