Show Review - Wednesday, May 3, 1989 - Page 10 Kearley places first in Alta 'Gelande' contest By JACK HILL Sometimes it's better not to know what you are getting into. Th at's wh at Troy Kearley found out at the recent Alta Ski resort "Ge-lande" jumping contest. "I'd never done it before, but I wanted to give it a try," said Kear-ley. Although the competitors could practice the week preceding the contest, Kearly had never before jumped in competition. On the day of the competition, April 8, 90 competitors showed to compete in four divisions based on age. Kearley, a 1987 graduate of Pleasant Grove High School, jumped in the 18-2- 4 age group, placed first and was second overall. Each jumper got three jumps with two counting. The longest jump got 60 noints, second 59. third 58 etc. A possible 60 points was awarded on each counting jump for Kearley totaled 215.6, second only to Robbie Huntoon's 220.0 total. On his third and final jump, Kearley decided to "go for it." Throwing caution to the wind, Kearley soared 149 feet, the long-est jump of the entire competition and good for the gold medal. Kearley works at the Deep Powder House at Alta and to jump he wore 225 cm downhill skis. Because of the danger involved, each contestant had to sign a re-lease so that Alta would not be held liablefor any injuries thatresulted. Will he do it again next year? According to Kearley, "Ifmy ribs heal up, I'll be back to jump again." llli'illii?;! ;fi: l!
