Ski beginners face difficulties,
will probably become hooked
By Kip Davis
Staff Writer
Skiing, a sport for which people
spend large sums of money to
stand In a lift line and/or end up
on crutches, continues to drsw
throngs of novices to Ihe snow-
covered  Inclines  of Ihe Sierra.
•Bunny hills' are packed with
twisted, struggling bodies trying
to learn the best way to fight th.
force of gravity. Facial expressions usually show fright, pain,
dismay, and most of the time total frustration. The visions of
Jean-Claude Kllly surrounded hy
ski bunnies have long since been
driven from Ihe head of Ihe baffled beginner.
As the first day on Ihe slopes
ends, the neophyte drags his
bruised, exhausted body lo his
car lor the long drive home, stopping on the way for a tube of Ben
Cay. But Is this the endofskllng
for ihe sad •schussboomer*''
Probably not. Whether It be
egomania, pride or Jusi plain
masochism, the beginner usually
returns lor another try.
After the second time, he Is
probably    either   hooked  on   the
sport or feels completely Inadequate on tha slata and wishes
to forget about Ihe whole thing.
These early encounters with
skiing out of the way, the budding
downhill racer needs only per-
slstsnce, experience, prayers
and money to become an honest-
to-goodness 'not dog*. A hot
dog Is s skier who doesn't 'est
It' (fall) and can take any given
run with a certain amount of
speed and grace.
If a beginner wants to avoid
perslslance, experience and
prayers he can become a *gung-
hoaulctdalmanlac* and usually
keep up with the hot dogs. However, this type of skier usually
ends up with a plaster pant leg.
For those who ara considering
taking up the romantic, Invigorating sport of snow skiing, hers
are a few lips fc/ get you started.
If you must rent your equlp-
ment It will be far less expensive
If you rent Ihe gear In Fresno
rather than at the resort. There
are a number of sporting goods
stores which will provide skis,
boots and poles for under $10
for   the   entire  weekend.     The
stores also rent ski racks and tl re
chains. Chains are s must If
you want to be sure to get to tha
resort. If possible, take along
your lunch. The food at roost resorts is usually overpriced and
something lass than tasty. Wine
la nice to give you that little ex-
tra motivation In limes of fright,
if monetarily possible, it's a good
Idea to take a group lesson the
first time up.
The resorts closest to Fresno
are China Peak on Highway 168
by Huntington Lake, and Badger
Pass on Highway 41 nearYossm-
lte. Badger probably offers th"
beat "first time* skiing but both
resorts hsve excellent teaching
stsffs.
Skiing Is rated as good to excellent (which usually msana
O.K.) and there ls more snow on
Ihe way.
It's a good Ides to ski during
the wesk If you can sneak out of
class. The weekend crowds tend
to be overwhelming to even the
most experienced skier. One final note: the Heslth Center phone
number ls 487-2582.

So you plan to spend the
Summer in Europe this year Great
Two things are mandatory. A ticket
to Europe. And a Student-Railpass
The first gets you over there, the
second gives you unlimited Second
Class rail travel for two months for a
modest $135 in Austria, Belgium,
Denmark, France, Germany,
Holland. Italy. Luxembourg,
Norway, Portugal, Spain. Sweden,
and Switzerland! All you need to
qualify is to be a full-time student up
to 25 years of age, registered at a
North American school, college or
university.
And the trains of Europe are
a sensational way lo travel. Over
100,000 miles of trackjinks cities,
towns and ports all over Europe. The
trains are fast (some over 100 mph),
frequent, modern, clean, convenient
and very comfortable. They have to
be. So you'll meet us on our trains, it
really is the way to get to know        C
Europeans in Europe.
But there's one catch. You
must buy your Student-Railpass in
North America before you go.
They're not on sale in Europe
because they are meant strictly for
visitors to Europe—hence the
incredibly low price. Of course if
you're loaded you can buy a regular
Eurailpass meant for visitors of all
ages. It gives you First Class travel if
that's what you want.
Either way if you're going
to zip off to Europe, see a Travel
Agent before you go, and in the
meantime, rip off the coupon. It
can't hurt and it'll get you a better
time in Europe than you ever thought
possible.
