Arts (LEISURE

Rejoicing in Rossland

Neil Rachynski
NEWS REPORTER

The spirit of Olaus Jeldness is
alive and well.

Ninety-six years ago, the Nor-
wegian mining promoter held
Rossland’s — in fact, Canada’s —
first ski race.

And now, almost a century lat-
er, that pursuit for innovation
amid winter’s great white blanket
continues.

How else does one explain the
development of a bigolfathon, the
Rocky Shutter Motion Show, or
even the Kiwi’s Kold Krazy Kri-
terium.

Here’s a new one for you —
parapenting.

Imagine skiing completely off a
cliff at Red Mountain, only to land
gracefully below with the aid of a
parachute.

All this and more is possible
during the 96th Anniversary of the
Rossland Winter Carnival. The
event occurs Jan. 29, 30 and 31 in
B.C.’s Golden City.

Winter carnival committee
member Lisa Wegner said people
enjoying the fun will even get to
dress up.

“We started doing themes,”
Wegner said. “This year the theme
is ‘Dirty 30s.’ Last year it was
Mardis Gras.

“We chose ‘Dirty 30s’ because,
well, I was imagining kids in street
clothes, selling warm chestnuts,
and people in denial about prohi-
bition,” Wegner said, unable to
contain her laugh.

She said the theme also allows
people to dress properly for the

outdoors.

A host of activities are planned,
and a schedule of all the events
should be out soon.

Fitness buffs can take part in
the triathlon. Wegner said the
three-person event features a two-
kilometre skate in the arena, a
five-kilometre run to Blackjack, a
seven-kilometre cross-country ski-
ing race, and finished with a re-
turn run to Jubilee Park.

Wegner said competition from
around the province will be taking
part in the B.C. Cup 1993 Luge
Race.

The events are certainly iiot
without a sense of humor, either.

“There will be ‘No Star Hockey,”

Wegner said. “It’s for people who
have never been on skates in their
life. There will be betting on that
and the proceeds will go to the
winter carnival.”

The bigolfathon combines ski-
ing and golfing. All you need is
your ski equipment, a nine iron
and six golf balls.

A mountain bike slalom race
will be held on Red Mountain.

“It’s a double-slalom course
down the T-bar run,” Wegner said.
“It’s going to be wild and hilari-
ous.”

For folks who prefer the indoors
there will be lots to do.

The carnival will have a casino
complete with dancing waiters

and a barbershop quartet. Even
the Rotary-sponsored Vitners
Quality Alliance will host a wine
tasting — and Wegner said tickets
go fast.

“Everyone gets nice and dressed
up and we rub elbows and taste
wine and have a really good time.”

Wegner said people who would
like to set up some sort of conces-
sion stand, such as hot chocolate,
are welcome to do so and make a
little money at the same time.

“Don’t worry about licensing,
it’s all been taken care of,” she
said. “We want to keep people fed
and happy and keep those glucose
levels up.”

Wegner said the committee
wants to help clubs such as the
Girl Guides, the Boy Scouts or se-
niors clubs, and urged such groups
to take advantage of what the car-
nival has to offer.

“The (carnival committee) is
just a variety of people from Ross-
land who care about Rossland and
want to promote Rossland,” Wegn-
er said.

“I encourage people in the out-
side areas (such as Castlegar and
Trail) to take part,” she said.

“No mater what your taste or
experience, there’s lots of things to
do.”

Information and registration
forms are available at the Powder-
hound in Rossland and the Trail
Chamber of Commerce. Brochures
will be coming out soon in other ar-
eas.

For those interested in setting
up a concession stand, contact
Wegner at 362-7299.
