Show Copter is Popular with Utah Skiers As I In: .sounds of the chopper fade in I lie distance, miles of untracked powder snow bear the scrutiny of skiers plotting their course down the slopes before them. One push of the poles and the Hop of the world' sud-denly becomes a rush of wind and waist-dee- p powder, engulfing skiers who venture past valley lifts and trams to the lofty world of helicopter skiing. Helicopter skiing in Utah is a world of its own. Two charier helicopter services, the Utah Powderbird Buides at Park City and the Wasatch Powderbird Guides at Snowbird, lift skiers to the highest peaks along the Wasatch and Uinta Mountains where skiers can experience Utah's '(?real(!Sl snow n arih' Most tours consist S alions-ligh-refreshments beZl? plus Terrain varies fromSnL gal,"5-wher-advanced skiS perience true skiiJ? ex" first time to stLp chutes ?f the I tree covered slopes for the'exZand f Because of ' f helicopter skfing ' LS5' should be made in advanX' the availability of help guides.

Coach Bluth praised Bryon Biggs for his accomplishments in the classroom. "He doesn't have three P.E. classes and two shop classes," said Bluth.

According to Bluth, "he's a manager who knew what we needed before we even asked." The meal, catered by Chuck-O-Ram-drew favorable comments from the 150 guests, parents and players.

Utah's State and National Parks and National Forests also entice skiers with hundreds of miles of trails through some of the state's most spectacular scenery. There's no greater winter, outdoor escape than to silently skim through the snow covered landscapes of Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks, Cedar 'Breaks National Monument, Wasatch ' Mountain Stale Park and the Logan and Ogden Canyons which stretch through Wasatch National Forest. In all, Utah has more than 1,000 encourage first-time- s lo go out and give the easy kick-lik- e steps and glides of cross country skiing a try. Long skinny skis, soft leather boots and bamboo or fiber glass poles are all a skier needs besides a couple layers of clothing that 'breathe' and can be peeled off as skiers warm up during the moderate exercise. It's an easy, healthy ancj inex-pensive way to enjoy winter and there's, no better place to tour the day away than in Utah. The search for the perfect slope has caught on. What began as a winter tradition amongst alpine skiers - the packing of boots, skies, and poles along with an airline ticket bound for Utah's 'greatest snow on earth' - has recently won favor with another rank of skier, the cross country ski buff. Nationwide, cross country skiing -- also known as Nordic skiing or ski '' touring, has grown in popularity to the point that once empty trails, hills and parks have filled with people discovering the aesthetic and healthful benefits of this inexpensive sport. But the qualities that have returned alpine skiers to Utah year after year, also hold true for the nordic skier. Uncrowded and close, Utah offers nordic skiers the best of two worlds: magnificent mountain terrain sporting hundreds of miles of un-tracked snow and groomed trails as well as the conveniently close proximity of major cities and airports to this winter escape. With more than 500 inches of snow annually blanketing Utah's mountains and a major metropolitan airport just an hour's drive away, Utah provides a perfect package for nordic skiers seeking their own perfect slope. Three major nordic touring'centers in Utah serve the needs of skiers who wish to take beginning lo advanced lessons or desire guided lours of one to four days. The Brighton Ski Touring Center near Salt Lake City, the Brian Head Touring Center in southern Utah and the White Pine Touring Center in Park City offers lessons, tours, ski rentals and sales as well as sponsor races and clinics on mountaineering and survival. Groomed trails at each center take skiers on tours of varying difficulty while thirteen of Utah's sixteen ski resorts help cross country skiers reach untracked powder b y allowing them to ride lifts to steeper terrain. For the cost of a single lift pass $3, skiers can ride to the mounlaintops at Alia, Blue Mountain, Brian Head, Brighton, Ml. Holly, Nordic Valley, Park West, Parley's Summit, Powder Mountain, Snow Basin, Snowbird, Solitude and miles of trails which have been mapped by state and federal recreation agencies and an additional . 2,000 miles of known trail, not yet plotted. Nearly 75 percent of these are on federal land and are mostly con-centrated along the Wasatch Front area from Salt Lake lo Logan. Alpine skiers and non-skier- s in-terested in giving nordic skiing a try can rent equipment from any one of a hundred or more ski shops throughout the state. Many stores also offer lessons as a part of rental packages to |
