P. Stastny, Que. Racers develop skiers Red Mountain Release Doveloping better skiers and responsible people through learning new skills on skis is the philosophy of the Red Mountain Racers. The intent of the Racers is to provide an opportunity for the skiers to gain compe- tency in the sport and to as- sist those who are aspiring to become competitive racers, not to outwardly produce Stenmarks or Nancy Greenes from your skiers. THREE LEAGUE The Red Mountain Racers program is divided into three lagues, The Nancy Greene League, the Bantam league and the Cardholders. The youngest division, the Nancy Greene league, is de- signed to introduce young- sters to ski racing, and to de- velop their racing abilities without undue emphasis on individual standings in races. The youngster races every Sunday afternoon, on rela- tively simple courses and does so as a member of a team. This league is open to any young skier up to age 14. Ifa youngster would like to par- ticipate, but is not yet competent enough on skiis, registration for one five-day session in the children’s ski make it possible for him or her to join the Nancy Greene league when racing begins in January. The cost of the league is $10 per racer. This year in- struction sessions are also available for those who would like to take part. BANTAM LEAGUE This year there are a large number of new younger racers who are skiing quite well and therefore selection rules for the Bantam league are going to be more relaxed. This program's purpose is to attempt to give every youngster a chance to travel to one out-of-town race, not to provide a ski holiday at other mountains. Outside races cost money and are costly and a great deal of actual skiing time is lost at a race. At the Bantam league age (nine to 14 years old) the best ski teacher is still mileage on the mountain, All Bantam racers are ex- pected to attend both train- ing sessions Saturdays at 8:30 a.m. to noon and Wed- nesdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. beginning Dec. 19. The cost of the Bantam program is $70. Extra free- skiing sessions will be pro- vided during the Christmas holidays. Sessions will go from 8:30 a.m. to noon beginning Sat- urday, Dec. 19, Sunday, Dec. 20 and Monday Dec. 21 andthen the following week Dec. 26, 27 and 28 with addi- tional sessions depending on available coaches. For more information call Rom Ander- son at 368: CARD HOLDERS This year the 25 card- holders have two coaches: Tim Gilhooly and Geoff Cal- laghan. Gilhooly, originally from Kelowna, has been a member of the Canadian National Downhill Ski Team for the past four years. He also holds a level III coach's certificate from the Canadian Ski Fed- eration. Callaghan will be returning for his second year as Card- holder coach. He has been at- tending the University of Calgary this summer and fall, and is now back in town to concentrate on his winter job. school in December should * Selkirk volleyball team leaving for Toronto By CasNews Staff Selkirk College women's volleyball team leaves for Toronto Wednesday to at- tend a national volleyball pia u-cuczvuscoc by The Cenedien Press Notional Hockey League mes: leaders after Friday go RIDE THE RED MOUNTAIN SKI BUS WEEKENDS & HOLIDAYS Return Schedule Lv.

This is showing up in the games as the team has only one loss, to Grand Forks, and have wins against Nelson, Beaver Valley, Spokane and Trail. On Jan. 8, 9 and 10 the Kootenay playdowns are be- ing held in Castlegar to see who will represent our region (Zone 1) in the B.C. Winter Games in Trail. To ensure a good showing, Castlegar Minor Hockey has alloted the team extra ice “time when possible. This is much appreciated by the team as they are looking forward to the play downs and feel that they have a good chance of win- ning if everyone gives 100 Per cent effort, and if Castle- gar hockey fans will come out and support the team. Wayne Wyton Comfort is his aim Wayne Wyton was quite adamant, “We are going to provide accommodation for every one of the 3,000 athletes, coaches and officials who come to the Gamos,” he sald. “if they'd rather stay in a motel or hotel, that’s their business. We just won't feed them!” That isn't supposed to make the chairman of the B.C. Winter Games Associ- ation committee sound like a camp commandant. On the contary, Wyton wants his ar- rangements to be so comfor- table and interesting (a home away from home is how he Phrases it), that visitors to the Trail Games next March ~ 4-7 will “want” to sleep on a -cot in a local school class- room. “All these participants will have lots to occupy them through the day,” he says, “and it’s up to us to make sure they're not bored the rest of the time.” ': When Wyton first took on the Accommodation commit- tee, he suddenly found him- self the proud possessor of some 2,600 cots that arrived from the Summer Gameg in Comox. That little job ef- fectively took up his Labor Day weekend. Then it was a matter of de- veloping his committee, and undertaking a survey of all the schools in School District 11, plus St. Michael's, to see what facilities were avail- able. He was warned that he fal assignments, such things as distributing a daily bulle- tin of news and tidbits to the participants, The Accommodation group had a group of things to consider when they went looking for sleeping rooms in would have to do some arm- | twisting among school prin- | cipals, “The reverse was true,” Wayne said. “Without excep- tion, the principals have jumped right in with enthu- siasm. In 12 schools, we have eight principals, two vice- principals and two teacher groups offering their full co-operation!” But to get back to the Accommodation group itself; Wyton has Jean Paolone as his deputy, and she is looking after supplies and many other details; Bob Merritt is in charge of beds, and Jim Meritt looks after allocation (making sure people get to where they're supposed to be); Bob Stefani is the schools co-ordinator in charge of house parents, Ev Cross will look after the ac- tivity centres, and Pat Mc- Connachie heads up the spec- WAYNE WYTON the various schools. Apart from male-female designa- tions, they looked for prox- imity to the sports venues, keeping zone teams together, and considering the different requirements for children and adults, athletes and offi- cials (for example, the down- town location of Trail Junior courtesy of Dixie Lee Chicken or Tuesday noon for 365-3517.

The expansive ski village and inna), the lift system (eve. ———— lifts in all), 40 trails with a lift serviced vertical of 670 m or 1900 feet, are indeed impres- sive but it’s the snowfall that sets Big White apart. Some- times reférred to as “the great white world of Big White” it even gets snow sometimes when it's not par- ticularly appreciated, such as the 25 cm (10 inches) that fell i early July one summer. There's a remote tranquil- ity and special privacy asso- ciated with Big White. The snow leadened forest is al- ways near and the view from the summit ski runs and day ‘lodge reveals a parade of forested mountains stretch- ing range after range away to the west.
