taking up the sport.

Statistics from the Canadian Ski
Council indicate people between the
ages of 35 and 49 are the fastest
growing number of enthusiasts, up
22 per cent from last year.

Red Mountain’s Ski School direc-

| tor Louise Lafontaine said she
thinks the increase is due to some

| people returning to the sport.

| She said some parents whose chil-

| dren are growing up are coming back
to the sport.

“They're sort of starting out

| again,” Lafontaine said. “Last year
there was a couple over 65 years old
and they were skiing for the first
time.

“With the equipment now it’s not
as taboo as before. It is very safe,”
Lafontaine said. “Before it was just
bear-trap and your foot stayed there.
Now it just clicks out.”

Beginner groups are organized by
age.

Children aged three-and-a-half to
six years old learn together, seven to
15-year-olds compromise another

| group and those 16 and older are
considered adults.

“For the little ones it is usually
their first time away, so we make it
kind of a game,” Lafontaine said.
“When you’re older you can talk tech-
nical.”

She said the main priority for
first-timers is to use a proper in-
structor. Lafontaine said using

Learning to ski need not be an uphill battle.
With the proper instructor and a little pa-
tience, ominous mountain slopes can be tamed
and enjoyed. And it seems people of all ages are

can be dangerous.

“T’ve seen it too often. They go straight down
and say ‘OK, follow me.’ Then they wait for
their friend to come down and they say ‘OK,
now turn.”

Lafontaine said the proper way to learn is
as simple as getting a beginner package with

speed.”

Snowboarding is just one alternative form to make the most of winter
recreation. Just be sure to take the time to learn from a professional

“It’s so much safer,” she said. “You see your
improvement faster because you don’t have the
pressure to perform. You can learn at your own

For experienced skiers looking for a change
of pace, snowboarding may be the way to go.

But keep in mind it’s a different
sport, and a qualified instructor
should be sought for beginners.

“You'll pick up tricks that make
your life so much easier,” Lafontaine
said.

“The body takes quite a bit of
abuse, especially at first. There’s no
release and you fall with the board.”

She said skiing is a great family
outing.

“After a set of lessons the father
can take one child and the mother
can take another, you go up the
mountain, bring a lunch and enjoy
the day.”

Skiing isn’t as expensive as some
people might think, according to La-
fontaine. She said some people will
spend $30 going out to dinner, while
for about the same amount they can
spend a full day skiing and explor-
ing the mountain.

Just remember to dress for the
weather when you head out. Wear
layered clothes and don’t use a jack-
et that will collect too much snow.
Blue jeans are definitely not recom-
mended — a wool hat definitely is.

Lafontaine has some simple ad-
vice to anyone who's never skied be-
fore.

“I'd just say give yourself a break
and let somebody teach you, let a
professional teach you.”

She expects Red Mountain to
open in time for the American
Thanksgiving, Nov. 26.
