CasNews talks to Belczyk continued from front pege Belezyk: “We have a pretty tight schedule. Basically, it’s a race every weekend. Downhill requires three training runs prior to each race. We also have.to have a travel day to get to the race. Usually the day after a race we try to relax a bit. Between those three days and the travel day and a resting day, that covers a week and that's how our schedule works. There's always times when the weather gets bad and then the schedule gets pushed up or the race gets delayed a day, and in downhill that’s a common thing. Then there's never any rest, it's just boom, boom, boom all the time.” CasNews: Castlegar residents are pretty proud of you and look forward to seeing the results of your races. Because you are in the national and international spotlight, is it easy to forget about Castlegar? Belezyk: “You can never forget where you came from, but I seem to spend about a month a year in Castlegar which is a shame. Whenever I come back it feels really good, I'm always really happy to come back to Castlegar and meet my friends who are still around here. That's always one of the nicest parts of coming home, but I hardly ever get to stay for very long.” CasNews: Derek Trussler of Rossland won the men’s super giant slalom at Mount Allan recently. Are you two very good friends? , Belezyk: “I've skied with Derek all my life, plus a number of other guys that come from the Red Mountain program who are now on the national ski team. We've come up through the ranks and its very good for Derek to have won that race because he was having a bit of a slump lately and this win is going to boost his confidence and he should probably ski a lot better in the new year.” CasNews: When did you first skiii Belezyk: “It was way back when. I think I was two or three-years-old and I did not really get into racing until late in my career, but I've been a skier for a long time.” Belezyk: really know what you're getting into. You just know that someone is putting long sticks on your feet and you're told to ski down. So basically I got into it without really ever having much option in the matter. It’s a sport that I've loved doing and always felt really good doing. It was just natural for me to carry on.” CasNews: When did you know that you wanted to ski professionally? Belezyk: “Well it's not actually a professional level at this point. It’s still amateur ski racing, that’s quote, quote because people do make money in the circuit. There was never a point where I actually wanted to get inte it. As I was progressing through the ranks I just kept moving up. I'd get to a new level and I would do well and then I'd move onto the next level and eventually I was on the national team. The whole thing snowballs and you just stay with it. If you like what you're doing, which I did, there's no reason to stop.” CasNews: What advice do you have for skiers who are one day hoping to\make it to the national team? Belezyk: “If they come up through the Red Mountain Racer program, that is about as good a start as you can CasNews: If you were not skiing for a living what do you think you — be doing? Belezyk: “That's a tough one. I have no clue actually. Even now I sometimes often wonder what I'm going to.do after ski racing and I still have not got that éne figured out yet. What I would have done before really baffles me.” CasNews: What do you find is the hardest part of racing? Belezyk: “Probably the traveling. Always being on the road, on the go, living out of suitcases. It is a life that I enjoy a lot but if I had to pick the one thing that is the worst of the whole thing it's that aspect. It’s really nice to be with your friends and have a base, but I never get much ehance for that.” Castlegar passed away Dec. 24 at Castlegar and District fred Waldron and two broth. ers, Allan and Ozwald Smith.
