Canada Cooler Dash Ski is a series of nine recreational speed skiing races to be run between Decj/3 and March 1 in B.C. and Alberta. There are no gates as in GS and slalom, just a straight groomed slope with a speed trap near the bottom. The fastest speed skiers in the world, four of whom live in Canada, travel in excess of 200 kilometres per hour. Ac cording to a prepared re lease, the series allows peo- ple to experience skiing at the maximum speed at which they are completely secure. This may be 60 kph for a be ginner or 150 kph for an expert skiier. All levels of adult skiers are invited to take part. Expert racers and those with full speed skiing gear are restricted to the expert cate- gory, but the majority of ra- cers participate in the inter. mediate category. The coaches include 1985 world champion Kent Wills, and 1985 and 1986 world champions Terry Watts and Dana Meeks who will be making appearances and run. ning demonstrations throughout the series.
