| The boys did a good job of
I racing on a fast course, accord
ing to Hal Loomis, president of
I the Matanuska Valley Ski Club
which sponsored the event.
Alan Moor of the local club
participated in an Arctic Val
ley race on Sunday, coming in
14th in a starting field of 30
skiers.
About 80 skiers were on the
Independence slopes last Sat
urday, and close to 150 on
Sunday, Loomis said.
He noted that Independence
is having considerable snow,
while other ski areas are suf
fering from rain. Skiing looks
excellent at the mine resort
this coming weekend, with two
feet of new powder over six
feet of packed snow, he stated.
Races are planned at the
mine area every Saturday and
Sunday at noon sharp for boys
j in the 11 to 15 year age group.
These will be run on a timed
course, with the nearest time
receiving an award. The races
will be conducted by the Susit
na Ski Patrol and the ski club.
“We are trying to stimulate
I an atmosphere for competitive
! skiing for the youngsters,”
Loomis said.
Several new beginning ski
| ers have been seen on the hill
! since the opening of ski classes
at Independence, he added.
Instructor for the classes is
Ben Densie.
There will be a ski patrol
meeting next Tuesday, March
12, at 7:30 p.m. at Central
school, according to Loomis.
Scheduling will be the main
item of business.
