The 10th Annual Snowpack Telemark Cup is coming on Sunday, February 14 to White- water. The Telemark Cup follows a dual slalom format held on Motherload. Each skier skies ¢ach course once and their times of each run is combined for their final standing. Telemark skiing is quite dif- ferent from downhill alpine skiing in the type of equipment and technique used. As only the toe of the telemark skiers’ boot is secured to the ski, the ability to telemark ski takes an incredible amount of balance and control. In the past years, the Tele- mark cup has been one of Whitewater's most successful events with competitors coming from far and near. This year's will be as great as ever with a competition T-shirt, wine and * cheese party, live entertainment, and lots of fun included in the registration. You can register at Whitewa- ter or Snowpack in Nelson. For more information you can call Cloe at 352-6411 or Whitewater 354-4944 This race will be a great time for both the competitors and spectators! for first Meeting up against Wood- land Park Shell in the battle for top spot, Pressure Wash came out on top with an 18-6 win in the shooters battle.

During the first part of the season (before Christ mas) the team had only won one game, this past weekend they took five games from their opponents They did not win a match but it is a definite improvement from the first part of the season, Perra said. “You have to go through stages of development,” Perra said. Those stages of development tie directly into the skill levels of the players and the speed at which they are improving. This past weekend the teams improvement started to show on the court. The team had a, busy weekend playing four separate matches, three Saturday and one Sunday mor ez Opening the weekend against British Columbia Institute of Technology, Selkirk took the first game 15-10, lost the second 11-15 and won the third 15- 5.

While his tea aming, Perra plans on sticking to the plays which have been successful for the team. It has been a learning season for the womens team as well “The team has been improving as ihe season pro- gresses...we have seen considerable improvements since the start of the season,” Friml said.
