She counseled Vonn to treat every race like it was an Olympics race so she wouldn’t get psyched out by all the chaos of the big show. But Street wasn’t afraid to dish it out when she thought the occasion called for it. Case in point: When Julie Mancuso opted to set aside her helmet for a tiara. “I called her out. I said, ‘Don’t sacrifice safety. Don’t set a bad example like that for the next generation just so you can wear a cutesy little tiara,’ ”she recalled. Jonna Mendes, who was on the U.S. Ski Team with Street, said she was one of those who looked up to the Sun Valley skier. “She was so confident in her ability.

Story & PHotoS By Karen BoSSicK
You might think that the most mem-orable moment of Picabo Street’s career would be that of winning her
first Olympic medal as she slashed her way down a downhill course in Lilleham-mer, Norway.
Or, perhaps, the gold medal she won in the super-giant slalom at the 1998 Nagano games—a feat she made look so easy.
Or even her two World Cup downhill championships, both of which certainly contributed to her induction this after-noon in the Sun Valley Ski Hall of Fame.
But the three-time Olympian claims none of these are among the first im-ages imprinted on the Rolodex of her brain. Try, instead, a less public memory involving the day she learned she needed $5,000 if she wanted to race at the Junior Olympics in Alaska.
“I wrote a form letter about how I needed help if I were going to go, and I put on my walking shoes and went into Ketchum,” says the tomboy from Tri-umph, her words spilling out nearly as fast as the 80 miles per hour that she used to race.
“I got $200 here, $100 there and before long the community had put together enough money for me to go. And a silent sponsor paid tuition for me to be on the ski team—I still don’t know who it was, although I think I have an idea.”
Such generosity has fueled Street’s own insatiable need to pay it forward, she says.
It shows up in her Street of Dreams Foundation, in which she finds worth-while causes she can be involved in as she helps youngsters achieve their dreams.
And it shows up in small things, like her decision to come to Sun Valley a couple days ahead of today’s induction ceremony so she could ski a few runs with some of the racers in the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation.
“I wanted to talk with them about their future, their dreams, see what’s in their heads, their hearts. If I just came up to have a ceremony, I wouldn’t have been comfortable in my own skin,” she said. “I need to keep creating opportunities to make positive change everywhere I go.”
Street said the prospect of mentoring young ski racers was part of what made retiring from ski racing at the conclusion of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City easy.
“I felt like (racing) was such a selfish endeavor—I was ready to get on with something else,” she said. “I wanted to figure out how I could put together a mentoring program to help ski racers get their heads screwed on right, keep their heads on straight.”
In fact, Street did just that with Lind-say Vonn, who had idolized Street since she was 10. She counseled Vonn to treat every race like it was an Olympics race so she wouldn’t get psyched out by all the chaos of the big show.
But Street wasn’t afraid to dish it out when she thought the occasion called for it.
Case in point: When Julie Mancuso
opted to set aside her helmet for a tiara.“I called her out. I said, ‘Don’t sacrifice
safety. Don’t set a bad example like that for the next generation just so you can wear a cutesy little tiara,’ ”she recalled.

Peter Henderson Tickles the Ivories

Ben Hong is out, due to an unex-pected contractual conflict with the Los Angeles

time for pianist Peter Henderson to strut his stuff.

“We are very excited to be present-ing Peter, and his programming for the evening is brilliant. “Experiencing solo piano repertoire of this stature being presented by an artist of Peter’s caliber is a rare opportunity in this commu-nity.

Banff Film Festival Crosses the IceBy Karen BoSSicK
A few years ago two Aus-tralian friends who had never kayaked on the open
ocean did the unthinkable—they paddled 3,300 kilometers across the Tasman Sea in an unsup-ported 62-day journey filled with 10-meter waves, massive storms and shark-infested waters.
They turned their adventure into an award-winning film, “Crossing the Ditch,” which went on to be among the hits of the 2010 Banff Film Festival.
Eager for another adventure, the two turned their sights to Antarctica where they attempted to be the first to ski unsupported to the South Pole and back.
“If we are going to succeed, we should probably learn how to ski,” Justin Jones told his adven-turing partner James Castris-sion before they set out.
Now, the two young men have turned that adventure into a new film titled “Crossing the Ice.” It picked up multiple awards, including Banff’s Grand Prize and People’s Choice awards at the Banff Film Festival in November.
And local armchair adven-turers will be able to see it on Friday when the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour 2013 comes to the nexStage Theatre, 120 S. Main St., Ketchum.
The film festival will serve up 19 different films focusing on mountain culture, travel, human interest and a wide array of sports over Friday and Saturday.
They range in length from minutes to an hour long. And they cover a variety of sub-jects: “The Gimp Monkeys,” for
instance, features three climbers who hand off prosthetic limbs as readily as they do belay ropes as they mount the first all-disabled ascent of El Capitan.
“Lily Shreds Trailside” fea-tures some amazing footage of a pooch following a mountain bik-er over the rolls and around the banked turns of a mountain bike course. And “Wild Bill’s Run” is the strange but true story of an Arctic adventurer who led a ragtag crew of mechanics and ranchers on a grueling expedi-tion across the polar ice before disappearing into thin air after he was named one of America’s Ten Most Wanted by the U.S. Marshals Service.
Tickets are $14, available in advance at Backwoods Mountain Sports, The Elephant’s Perch and Chapter One Bookstore. They’re $15 at the door.
If there are any, that is. Last year organizer Michael Boge sold out of tickets well in advance of show time.
Proceeds from tickets go to the Friends of the Sawtooth Nation-al Forest Avalanche Center and the Satipo Kids Project, which supplies 34 Peruvian children with the necessary textbooks and other equipment they need to attend school. Doors open at 6
p.m., with pizza and other food on sale to benefit the Avalanche Center.
There will also be door prizes, giveaways of Kicking Horse Coffee—a tasty Canadian brew—and a chance to win more than $10,000 in prizes, including outdoor gear, a yurt stay and a trip with Sun Valley Helicopter Ski Guides, in the 16th annual Best of Banff Raffle.
The raffle helps raise half of the Center’s operating budget.
Raffle tickets can be purchased at Backwoods, The Perch and the film festival. Winners need not be present.
“We’re a public/private part-nership. The government pays for one position; the community, two,” explained Simon Traut-man, the new director of the Avalanche Center. “With what we get, we cover four zones from the Sawtooths to Soldier Moun-tain near Fairfield.”
matinee idol tenor isaac Hurtado, seen here playing alfredo in opera la traviata, will headline the Sun Valley opera Winter extravaganza Feb. 11 through 13, along with tony award winner lisa Hopkins Seegmiller and a star-studded cast of singers. an elegant diva Party featuring singers in the cast will kick things off on Feb. 11. a concert featuring songs from Broadway and the opera will follow on Feb. 12 at the church of the Big Wood in Ketchum. a fully staged production of “la Boheme,” produced by utah lyric opera, will cap things off on Feb. 13 at the Wood river High School Performing arts theater. For tickets, which are just $15 for “la Boheme,” go to sunvalleyopera.com or call 208-726-0991.

High In The MountainsEditor’s Note: This story is
from a trip Bali took in 1976 to the Himalayas, and that this is a story of an experience that hap-pened then.
Story & PHoto By Bali SZaBo
This high-altitude (12,000 feet) Tibetan village of Beding was an essential
refueling stop and a major transition to the high country. Up to now, rest had been a brief, happy-hour luxury. We arrived in the early afternoon and we wouldn’t be leaving until after lunch the next day.
As if on cue, we all knew what to do. After a week of march-ing, there had been little time to do laundry. The sherpas hired some local women, who set to work on all the stale, sweaty stuff we gave them. Ropes were also strung between the tents for hanging moist sleeping bags/mats. Everything we owned was wet. After several days of rain, moisture had seeped into everything. Plumes of steam rose from the tents and the dry-ing gear, draped on rocks, ropes and fences.
The sherpas had other stra-tegic concerns to address. The head cook, Nyima Tenzing, was bargaining over bushels of po-tatoes and onions, and that was just the beginning. We grew in size; over 60 people would cross the pass. We needed all kinds of fresh food. Once past Beding, we’d be out of touch with the world for a week. We also needed new porters. The Tamang from the lower elevations weren’t equipped for alpine travel. They needed much warmer clothes and footwear. Remarkably, almost none of them had ever crossed this pass, or any other alpine barrier. They lacked both experience and the physiology. The sherpas had greater lung capacity and blood that can carry more oxygen to the tissues
than the rest of us. None of the porters wanted to be dismissed. It meant money lost and a missed opportunity of a lifetime. Some of the best ones were kept, and we were asked to contribute whatever we could spare—warm socks, sweaters, hats, gloves, sneakers, jackets—which would enable them to cross the pass with, and for, us. Most travelers carry more clothes than they need; hence the adage, take half the clothes and twice the money.
Besides just the laundry, I had an agenda—to make a batch of magic brownies. Nyima Tenzing and I were going to cooperate in the venture, so he could learn how to make ‘ganja cake.’ The day proved too busy—he was running behind—so we post-poned it for a day. I proceeded to dry the marijuana we had picked along the trail, in two pie pans, over low heat. It was as wet as our clothes, but the leaves dried quickly. I was panning for psychic gold.
As the late afternoon clouds rolled in (a daily occurrence from hereon), we retreated into our tents with the still-clammy
laundry and waited for sup-per. The young ones among us conspired and gathered in my tent (I was the only one with a single-occupancy tent—a great luxury) to try out the pot. High time for happy hour. Cam, the trip doctor, and four others crowded into the tent. I tore out a page of War and Peace, rolled two joints, and we started our drift among the clouds, letting our minds wander at will, savor-ing the rush of insight or illusion unique to the drug. The time passed uncharted until dinner. We sat huddled in the dinner tent, not too useful when it came to passing the sugar, the coffee, the meat, the soup. We were absorbed in the others, listening, watching, drawing the bead, slic-ing and dicing their personali-ties, lingering over little things, or life’s great questions, as the case may be. As the grip of the pot weakened and we ran out of content to grasp, we calmly faded to our sleeping bags.

Snow, Pt. IILast week’s “Beat” intro-
duced the topic of snow variability and its ef-
fects on our lives. Snow begins a metamorphism soon after it lands on the snowpack. There-fore, it’s important to make the distinction between newly formed/falling snow and snow in the snowpack. This week we’ll start at the beginning, with new snow.
Snowflakes form in the clouds when supercooled water vapor freezes to dust particles. As more and more vapor freezes onto the structure, it eventually becomes heavy enough to drop from the cloud, and float down into our lives.
When thinking of snowflakes, we often picture the symmetri-cally-branched, stellar dendrite we see in the windows of shops throughout the winter. However, there is actually tremendous variety in snowflake struc-ture—from needles to plates to graupel. Crystal type depends on two variables: temperature and humidity. Imagine an x/y axis where, when given the tempera-ture and humidity, you could determine which snow crystal will collect outside your window and, in turn, what effect it may have on you. If it’s cold and dry, you may have plates and an ex-cellent powder day. If it’s milder and a bit more humid, you might have needles and some heavier snow to shovel. If it’s warm and humid, you might have rime or graupel and may want to put the horses in the barn. We suggest Googling “snow crystal chart” where you can find visuals for both the many different crystals as well as temperature/humidity graphs.

Holcomb’s senior project was a presentation on local habitat. courteSy PHoto
By JonatHan Kane
Jimmy Holcomb, Wood River High School senior, is an avid environmental-
ist and he puts his money where his mouth is—so to speak. A member of the environmental club at the high school the last three years, Holcomb devoted his senior project this year to the study of a section of Indian Creek, located north and east of Hailey, and ways in which to im-prove the habitat for trout. “The environment and its quality are very important to me,” Holcomb said. “It’s something that we can change and, hopefully, reverse its erosion. We are led to believe that all our resources are infinite and that’s just not true.”
Holcomb’s presentation on Indian Creek for his senior project was last week and, ac-cording to him, “was very well received.” The impetus for his project came from the fact that he has lived in Indian Creek his whole life. “Since I’ve always been an active environmentalist, I wanted to do something that would have an impact locally, so I chose the Indian Creek habitat. My original objectives were pretty hands-on, but they had to be scaled back because of the time and effort needed to get permits from the Army Corps of Engineers and Fish and Game to make physical changes to the stream. I wanted to take a half-mile section that included the two ponds and study and remedy obstructions for the fish. That would have entailed adding drop structures, or waterfalls, aerat-ing the water by creating pools, and widening and deepening the stream at certain points to affect temperatures. We would also have taken out obstructions to the fish migrating, like a beaver pond. The upper section is also badly overgrown and this stops the fish from navigating north, which is very beneficial to them. Although we couldn’t make the physical changes, we have pre-sented my findings to the Indian Creek board and, if they agree, they will apply for the permits so that the fish can navigate the stream and migrate.”
Instead, what Holcomb was able to do was create a stream enhancement study for the upper stretch of the creek. “I walked up the stream and sketched and
identified spawning grounds. I also identified the foliage that closes the stream to migration. Then, every 100 feet, I detailed the metrics by taking measure-ments of the depth and width to identify the shallow areas and the areas of healthy depth. I then took all the information and made two maps on foam board that included an aerial view and color-coded sections that made a presentable assessment. The whole experience taught me a lot about how environmental planning works. I now hope to go into environmental planning or marine biology as a career as it has become my passion. It has also taught me how you can alter the environment in certain ways—like stream management—that can affect the environment in a big way.” You can be sure that Holcomb’s future efforts will have an effect in even bigger ways.

dON’t MiSS tHiS WEEK’S CaLENdar - PGS 8 & 9
Remember when? When skiers like John and Marlis Carson didn’t
have to sing for their sup-per—but they did have to ski for their supper? When Karen Johnston of Hailey used to show up in vintage dress for the dress-up occasion that was the Gourmet Ski Tour… When diners used to belly up to Cristina’s lavish spread of
hors d’oeuvres before heading down the Harriman Trail for soups, the main course and desserts… When Florian and Stephanie Petit used the occa-sion as an excuse to dress up in their finest Swiss outfits?
The event, which spawned other gourmet ski tours around the country, was shelved a few years ago after the library started its Move-
able Feasts the same weekend. But Paul and Beth Willis and 18 of their closest friends will get a chance to enjoy it next month after placing a winning bid on a limited version at Saturday’s Galena Benefit. So, pssst, there’s still time to make the acquaintance of these two fine people.

Galena Benefit Includes Gourmet Ski Tour Bid
Story & PHoto By Karen BoSSicK
Paul and Beth Willis never took part in the Gourmet Ski Tour—that quintes-
sential Sun Valley event where skinny skiers skied along the Harriman Trail, happily imbib-ing in gourmet foodstuff ranging from Moroccan-style chicken and roasted pumpkin bisque to chocolate-infused ale.
But they’ve got a license to ski for food now.
The couple won a private gour-met ski tour for 20 at Saturday’s benefit for Galena Lodge and the trails.
And they were already salivating, even though they’d just polished off a delicious meal of chicken breasts stuffed with spinach, wild mushrooms and leeks and double chocolate mousse torte.
“I can’t wait,” said Beth Wil-lis, already dreaming of the event that garnered a story in “Gourmet” magazine and a spot in Al Roker’s “Roker on the Road” show.
She couldn’t, either, calling organizer Jenny Busdon the very next day for the details.
An energetic sold-out crowd showed up at Sun Valley’s Limelight Room to dance to the golden oldies of the High Street Band and bid on ski wear, ski gear and other auction items to help keep the Nordic trails in corduroy.
Ed Northen, a retired fire-fighter-turned-Nordic patrol-man, reminisced about helping to shovel the snow off the roof of Galena Lodge when it gets a big powder dump.
“If they get enough snow, you can walk right up,” said North-en, who has also been known to pitch in bussing tables when the lodge is busy.
“It’s always fun being up there on Thanksgiving because people are always just so excited to be out,” added his wife, Carmen Northen. “And the visitors from back East are always taken by how beautiful it is.”
The lodge wasn’t the only entity receiving accolades. So did the bike path.
“It’s just been amazing seeing all the users—it’s getting snow bikers, walkers, skiers, dogs, elk—and everybody is so happy,” said Carol Rank.
A four-course dinner for 16
at Galena Lodge with plenty of bubbly to boot lassoed $10,000 during Saturday’s live auc-tion. A week for eight at Ann Christensen’s Mayan Riviera garnered $4,000. And two days of mountain biking with Olympic medalist Georgia Gould obtained $4,200 for the trails. No perfor-mance-enhancing drugs included in the latter—just whatever nourishment you can find for a $100 gift certificate at the Stan-ley Baking Company and gift certificates good for Atkinsons’ Market and CK’s Real Food.
Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation Director Don Wiseman praised those in at-tendance, saying that the work
they’d done enabled Sun Valley to meet the standards of the U.S. Olympic Committee, which led to Sun Valley being designated as an Olympic Paralympic training site.
“That’s a tribute to this com-munity, especially the Nordic community,” he said. “What does this mean? We become bet-ter. We try to become the best Olympic/Paralympic training site in the nation. It will take the community to make that hap-pen,” he added, inviting those in attendance to participate in community meetings that will be scheduled in late February.

Canadians Thrive In AcademyStory & PHotoS By Karen BoSSicK
The kids at the Sun Valley Ski Academy’s residence hall call 18-year-old Sofi
Leroux “Mother Hen.” They look up to her, since she’s already a high school graduate, successful-ly making the transition between high school and the wider world.
Sofi’s brother, Marc, 16, is known as a stickler for hard work—he’ll never do 49 pushups if the coach has asked him to do 50.
This brother-sister team from Vancouver, British Columbia, has made themselves at home at the Community School and on the slopes.
Sofi, a self-acknowledged student—is skiing the best of her life, having won a giant slalom FIS race, in addition to a third-place and eighth-place finish in slalom against rac-ers from all over the country at Jackson Hole. In doing so, she became the first Sun Valley Ski Academy boarding athlete to win a FIS race—a huge achievement in the alpine skiing world, said Jonna Mendes, herself a former Olympic racer and director of recruitment for the Sun Valley Ski Academy.
Marc, who calls himself “the sports guy,” has seen his grade point average take a meteoric rise at the Community School.
“I did not want to tell him he couldn’t race anymore, but he could not have continued with the grades he was getting back home,” said Marc’s father, Bernard Leroux, as he and his wife stopped by the dorm Friday evening to take their children to dinner.
“Sofi missed 93 days of school due to racing last year and Marc, 60 days. Enrolling them in the Sun Valley Ski Academy was a way for Marc to continue to race and still get a good edu-cation—the Community School has an education second to none. And for Sofi, it’s been a lot of fun,” Leroux added.
Bernard Leroux, an engineer and stockbroker, and his wife Sheri Weichel, an interior de-signer, headed west from Ontar-io, Canada, to ski at Whistler for a winter. They never returned to eastern Canada.
There was no question that their children would ski—they outfitted them in Nordic and alpine skis as soon as they could walk.
Marc soon picked skiing over soccer and hockey because he loved being outdoors and the challenge of conditions that change every day—with hockey, you’re always skating on the same ice rink, he said.
Sofi concedes that she often went kicking and screaming when her parents took her skiing as a youngster. But eventually she did land one of seven berths on the provincial team. And, by the time she came here, she was one of the top three girls on the British Columbia ski team.
She likes the more relaxed, friendlier atmosphere surround-ing the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation team better.
“The coaches are young, happy and friendly. And all the kids are so supportive of one another and so happy to be skiing,” she said. “On the provincial team, you’d be happy at first when one girl was doing well. But then, if you started doing badly, you wouldn’t be so happy for her because you’d start worrying you were going to lose your spot on the team.”
Sofi relishes the opportunity to take a couple classes at the Community School, even though she’s already graduated from high school in her country. The calculus, which she didn’t have time to take in high school, will come in handy for the engineer-ing courses she hopes to pursue. And the non-fiction writing class is helping her get a better grasp
of English since she grew up in a French immersion program.
Marc, a junior, is taking a full load, including American history—a novelty for a Cana-dian—pre-calculus, French, speech, geology and environmen-tal literature.
“Back in public school my teachers weren’t willing to help you—they thought when we missed class we were just being ski bums. Here, the classes are smaller, the teachers and stu-dents interact and the teachers give you all the help you need,” he said, noting that his grades are much improved.
The Leroux kids reside with 21 other students from Sweden, Canada, Asia and the United States. They come home from training to find warm banana bread on the counter and pulled-pork enchiladas, prime rib and plenty of rice for the eight Asian kids sizzling on the stove.
They and other dorm residents have filled the Goal Board with a plethora of goals written on Post-it notes: Qualify for West-ern Regionals. Make lots of new friends. Improve my Boulder Mountain Tour results. Do more community service. Maybe get a hot girlfriend from South America. Be happy every day and live my life with passion…
On election night they stayed up late trying to make heads or tails of America’s Electoral Col-lege. When they want to unwind, they head to the foosball table or the big-screen TV in the com-munity room.
They love having the Warm Springs chairlift a block away.
“We have a house in Whistler, but we could only train there on weekends, since we had school during the week,” said Marc. “There’s so many people there, such long lines and the snow is never great. It takes me all day to get 10 runs in at Whistler. Here, I go out and do 10 runs in two hours. And the snow is perfect.”
Jonna Mendes, director of recruiting, says the kids have been a wonderful addition to an academy that strives to offer an education that will get students into the best colleges and univer-sities in the country. The dorm athletes racked up a 3.6 grade point average out of 4.0 this last semester.
“Sofi and Marc are very motivated—they work hard. When they showed up, they were prepared to be here,” she said. “We talk about them be-ing pioneers. The students we have here and their families believed in what we can be and now they’re reaping the benefits. The kids are happy and they’re thriving. And we have kids from Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, even Virginia, coming to look at us this week and next.”
Marc would like to come back next year to see how far he can go with his ski racing. Sofi may hang up her skis to follow in her father’s footsteps in engineering and stockbrokering. But she’s
glad she had the opportunity to spend this winter here.
“All my friends applied to college before they had any idea what they wanted to do. Some of them were not happy far away from home—they were not used to not having their parents tell them what to do,” she said. “Ski racing taught me to be respon-sible. It taught me time manage-ment and how to balance things, prioritize things. And, after living in the dorm here, I feel I’ll have no trouble adjusting to college.”
other dorm students:Linnea Tenerz, of Sweden,
wanted a year abroad and chose the Sun Valley Ski Academy be-cause she liked the idea of living in a dorm better than living with a host family.
“I like how skiing is so close to the dorm,” she said.
Veronica Gaspar, of St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, hopes her time with the Ski Academy will help her reach her goal of representing the Virgin Islands at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
“I like that the mountain is so close to the dorm,” said Gas-par, who learned to ski at Lake Placid while her family was liv-ing in New York. “The school is rigorous, but that’s good. I didn’t have to do any work at my old ski academy.”
a word From mendes:“The Sun Valley Ski Academy
has been such a rewarding expe-rience for our new athletes. Most had never had access to this high a level of coaching, training, and academic support. Sun Valley Ski Education and Community School offer athletes the best of both worlds. And, athletically and academically, our athletes are completed, supported.
“Good grades and personal bests in ski and snowboard competitions are obvious. But the most important part to me is the happiness of our student-athletes. They are very thankful to be here, and speak often about how lucky they feel to be a part of this program. I feel incredibly rewarded as I watch this pro-gram grow, and it’s only going to continue to get better.”—Jonna Mendes, director of recruiting
Sofi and marc leroux enjoy living with students from china, Sweden, the Virgin islands and other countries. “in Vancouver there are a lot of different cultures, including indians and chinese. So we’re used to going to school with them. But living with them is cool,” said marc.
Sofi leroux fixes a fruit smoothie for herself and her roommate.

Time to Race!By Jim SanTa
For a good number of us nor-dic skiers this coming Satur-
day represents a day we’ve been thinking about since early in the fall when we were running hills with poles, roller skiing, hitting the gym, or whatever other forms of dry land training we may em-ploy, it’s Boulder Mountain Tour time! While I’m certainly not the fastest guy out there, I’ve got enough races under my belt to pass along a few tips.
First and foremost, if you’re fretting that your training regi-ment has come up a bit short, now is not the time to make up for missed sessions. At this point there’s nothing you can do to make yourself any faster, but there are a lot of things you can do to make your self slower. Re-lax, trust that you’re ready, err on the side of rest and go out and give it your best. Conversely, if you feel like your training is right on schedule err on the side of rest. That extra interval session late in the week will only make you tired. Get it? Rest is best!
Fretting over the perfect wax to be fast on race day? I’ve been there many times and have cre-ated a lot of unnecessary stress for myself and eve lost sleep thinking about it. I have finally learned to KISS, or keep it simple stupid! While a good number of us will rely on our own testing, (and that’s fine), there will be ex-perts from all the wax companies out there testing all week. Rec-ommendations will posted and clinics on proper applications of these waxes will be going on in the local shops on Thursday and Friday. Of course all the lo-cal shops will be providing pro-fessional wax services so you can just leave it in their capable hands as-well.
Okay, time to carbo load right? Forget the huge spaghetti dinner that seems to be the pre-race tradition. Trust me, I’ve made the mistake of stuffing myself with pasta only to feel bloated on race day and nearly leaving my dinner on the trail! No, there’s nothing wrong with a pasta dinner, just keep the quantity in check. Car-bo loading is really more about resting during race week and letting your glycogen stores build up rather than doing too much and emptying the tank. On race morning it’s recommended to eat a light breakfast of around 300 calories including a bit of protein about 3 hours prior to your start to top off the tank.
Follow the wax recommenda-tions, prep your skis with confi-dence, have a healthy relaxing dinner, get a good nights sleep, eat a light breakfast, (early), and show up ready to rock. Above all, remember that we’re supposed to be having fun!
Good luck, enjoy your race and we’ll see you at the finish!

movie review
A BIpolAr KInd oF loverated 3.5 bumblebees
By JonatHan Kane
Although the writer/director auteur has always been the backbone of cinema among
American directors who you would call very talented, the list is very short. Prominent, though, on that list is David O. Russell, the writer and director of the fine new film Silver Linings Playbook. From his vastly underrated Iraq War opus, Three Kings, through his widely heralded The Fighter, Russell is as good as it gets and in his new homage to the screwball comedy he has once again pro-duced one of the best films of the
year. Brimming with humor and deep humanity, the movie works on many levels—all of them thor-oughly entertaining.
Basically the story of a troubled bipolar man, played beautifully by Bradley Cooper, the film finds him home after eight months in a men-tal institution in a plea bargain for battering his wife’s lover. The loss of his wife and his efforts to win her back, despite a restrain-ing order, form the catalyst for the story. Enter Jennifer Lawrence (The Hunger Games) in a tremen-dous performance as a troubled widow that tries to hook up with Cooper, fails, and then struggles to be his friend. Having access to his ex-wife, she cajoles him to enter a dance competition in return for her
help. This is where the film lost me in the trailers, expecting another cliché finish where the principals win ‘the big game.’ I could not have been more wrong as Russell mas-terfully sidesteps the cliché and instead ties up the film beautifully.
Russell also seems to have a knack for eliciting tremendous performances as was seen in The Fighter. Here, besides the two leads, is a wondrous performance by Robert De Niro as Cooper’s long-suffering and OCD-riddled dad. His work is so effortless and masterful that it actually boggles the mind. But Silver Linings Play-book is filled with such charms and should be heavily rewarded on Oscar night.

ForMer lIveSBy Jamie canField, Program director For KSKi 103.7 Fm
Death Cab For Cutie front-man Ben Gibbard has been busy lately; he put
DCFC on hiatus, released his first proper solo album, Former Lives, late last year, and has put back together his side project, The Postal Service, with partner Jimmy Tamborello to play their first set of shows in ten years, including the mega-festival Coachella in April, and is reissuing Postal Service’s sole offering Give Up this year. Let me tell you, I’m excited about all of this activity, but let me get back on track; For-mer Lives is something you should give your ear to. Culled from songs Gibbard has written in the past eight years in between work with Death Cab and the soundtrack to the Kerouac documentary One Fast Move And I’m Gone, which he worked on with Son Volt’s Jay Farrar, Former Lives is a dozen acoustic songs written with the same smirking pop flair that makes Death Cab For Cutie such an amazing band. Yet these are no mere throwaways that never made it to light on Death Cab For Cutie albums; they are fully fleshed-out songs apparently written for Gibbard’s inevitable solo album, because nothing seems missing. “Teardrop Windows,” Gibbard’s ode to his hometown of Seattle, is a gem, clocking in at less than three minutes, and that seems to be Gibbard’s strong suit; he knows how to make a point and get out of a song aptly and quickly, an art that is lost these days. Former Lives should be for future listen-ing.

luding to the safety and security she felt growing up in her home-town of 35 people. “In Triumph, we could run and we didn’t have to worry about strangers. So, I’m not as comfortable here as I would’ve been if we lived off the grid a little more. But we do have breathing room and great neighbors.”
Street has taught the older boys how to ski at Park City where she still has a home. But, she says, she doesn’t try to im-press on them her ski prowess.
“I don’t tell them how much butt I kicked. But I do sometimes show up at basketball game to pin medals on youngsters, and they know it’s because I won a couple Olympic medals of my own. And they think that’s cool,” she said.
The older boys got a sense for their mother’s impact on the ski world when a video crew came to their home to film a tribute for the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame ceremony—Street gave birth to Dax on the eve of the induction ceremony.
“They sat in the house while I did the interview and then they got to see themselves on TV,” Street recalled.
But Street says she is more apt to use her Olympic exploits to open a window onto their world. A couple weeks ago, for instance, the boys came home from school to find her in a kimono and she used that to tell them how she took part in a tea ceremony during the Nagano Olympics. She told them about
how the Japanese wear kimonos to communal baths. And she explained how the Japanese cross one lapel over another to let the world know when they’re in mourning.
In a life filled with water ski-ing and horseback riding and a bucket list that includes an African safari and the Iditarod, Street still gets her ski fix, thanks to the Picabo Ski Chal-lenge in Park City, Utah, which funds her Street of Dreams Foundation. She also keeps a busy schedule doing ski clinics on behalf of such businesses as Nike and Chase Sapphire.
Street says she enjoys living vicariously through Lindsay Vonn and others like her.
“It would be totally different if I were racing today,” she said. “I grew up without a TV—I didn’t know everyone in the world would be seeing me, that my name would be all over the place. Today, you have TV and social media.
“If I were in ski racing today I would be making such an active difference in so many ways with social media at my fingertips. Oh my goodness, I’d be using my celebrity to draw so much atten-tion to so many causes. It almost hurts my heart to think about what I could have done.”
Street has already been inducted into the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame and the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame. But she still considers her induction into the hometown Hall of Fame “pretty flattering.”
“Does it get old? No, ma’am, not at all. Sometimes you don’t realize how much it means until you get it.
“Dollar and Baldy mountains made me the skier I was. They gave me a stamina in my legs that no other mountains could have given me. And the thought of Sun Valley still warms my heart. I’m looking forward to being back and finding a way I can maybe make some positive changes in the next generation.”

Ski The rails Kicks off nordic FestStory & PHoto By Karen BoSSicK
It looked like a fashion show as the gals of Backwoods Mountain Sports showed up
for Saturday’s Ski the Rails in insulated Scandinavian Skhoop skirts emblazoned with Back-woods logos. Garter bows set off their striped leggings.
The turnout was in honor of Bruce Weber, a longtime Back-woods employee who died sud-denly a few months ago following a brief illness.
Ski the Rails, which kicked off the Fourth Annual Sun Valley Nordic Festival, was Weber’s favorite event—thus, Saturday’s Ski the Rails was dedicated to him, race director Jim Keat-ing told those assembled at the starting line through his new megaphone.
Those who skied the rails—the bike path running from Ketchum to Hailey—on Sat-urday, encountered every kind of weather they could imagine, from light snow to light mist and even sun.
The weather should be per-fect, however, for this coming Saturday’s 32-kilometer Boulder Mountain Tour, with tempera-tures topping out at 32 degrees and zero percent chance of precipitation.
Nearly a thousand racers are expected for the tour, which Brent Hansen and Julie Gorton first won in 1973.
It will include a couple hun-dred Masters skiers who are in Sun Valley for three races that
will determine the 2013 National Masters champions. And it will include 15 or 16 disabled ath-letes who will do either the full or half-Boulder.
Among the Paralympians is Andy Soule, who began cross-country skiing in Sun Valley after losing his legs in a roadside bomb in Afghanistan.
Soule became the first Ameri-can to win a biathlon medal in either the Olympics or Paralym-pics when he lassoed a 2.4-kilo-
meter pursuit bronze in 2010.

Ski racers practice despite Weather
Sun Valley ski racers practicing last week on Dollar Mountain thought the forboding clouds would dump a little snow on the area. Alas, all
it could muster was an inch here, a half-inch there. But there’s still time for more, what with nearly 60 days between now and spring.

Knee Injuries and AlignmentBy JeSSica KiSiel
Contrary to popular belief, your knee is not a fragile joint. It is designed to run,
jump, ski and perform all the activities you ask of it. The knee is actually a simple joint with a complex job. Acting as a hinge joint, the knee flexes and extends the lower leg. The complexity of the joint lies in its role in coordinating and synchronizing the movement between the hip and ankle.
Your body is linked together in a kinetic chain and works as a unit. No joint or muscle works in isolation. Just try to bend or extend your knee without involvement from the hip, ankle or pelvis. It’s not possible. The muscles and tendons that move the knee cross these anatomical structures.
In the kinetic chain of the leg, the hip, at the top, is the largest joint with the greatest mobility. The ankle, at the base, is also very mobile. The knee sits in between, trying to stabilize the actions of these joints. If there is dysfunction in either the hip or ankle, the knee can take on tasks for which it is not designed and become misaligned and injured.
The knee joint is the junction of the femur bone reaching from
the hip to the knee and the tibia bone extending from the knee to the ankle. So, the position of the knee is dependent on the alignment of these bones above and below in addition to the tension, strength and health of the surrounding soft tissues (muscles, fascia, tendons and ligaments). Ideal knee posture is when the femur and tibia bones are in a neutral position with the kneecap centered and pointing straight ahead.
The two most common knee misalignments are internal or external rotation. This is evident through the kneecaps; instead of facing straight ahead, they point inward, toward each other, or outward, away from each other. It is also possible to have only one knee rotated or the knees rotated in opposite directions.
It is said that the knees are the windows to the hips. If a knee is internally rotated, so is the hip above, and likewise, if the knee is externally rotated, the same is true of the hip above. Often, rotated knees are paired with rotated feet, increasing the twist and stress on the knee joint, which can lead to injury of the soft, protective tissue within the joint. Repetitive bending of a misaligned knee can damage cartilage and the meniscus.
To realign the knee, imbal-
ances in the pelvis, hip and ankle need to be addressed. An internally rotated knee may be caused by weak pelvic girdle muscles, while an externally rotated knee may be caused by tight pelvic girdle muscles.
To learn more about how to reduce your knee pain through better alignment, attend Jessica’s Après-Ski Alignment classes this month. Classes are at Zenergy on Monday, Wednes-day and Friday 3-4 p.m., open to both members and non-members. Classes started January 28 and drop-ins are welcome any time. Check her website for more details, http://www.thepfathlete.com/training/functional-fitness-classes.

financial planning
As the economy continues to show signs of improve-ment, some continue
to look for signs of inflation. Typically the only ones who may cheer inflation are those who have borrowed long term and will have the chance to repay in cheaper dollars. The rest of us could do without the beast.
Inflation is an insidious tax on future value for most consum-ers and investors. Our money doesn’t buy as much, the interest we earn on CDs and other fixed income securities is worth less, and retirement on a fixed income is challenging. The common per-ception of inflation is that it is caused by too many dollars chas-ing too few goods, forcing prices up. Basic economics dictates that wages would spiral up, putting further pressure on prices as inflation continued unabated.
We learned in the 1970s that inflation could be stimulated by sudden price increases in com-modities such as oil and gas. We have also been barraged with the idea that our government can print money by spending
more than it takes in from tax revenues. Government spending during the Reagan years cre-ated huge deficits, but strangely enough, inflation fell and has continued to fall from its peak in the early 1980s. Inflation, however, can erode individuals’ buying power in other areas besides just commodities; rising taxes, healthcare costs, and col-lege tuition rates are just a few examples.
During a period of downturn, we normally see disinflation (falling prices) result from declining consumer spending and subsequent lack of business investment. Producers lose pric-ing power. There remains a low level of resource utilization as businesses have excess capacity and unemployment exists. As the business cycle turns to the up-side, inflation rates fall, as they have in five of the last six cycles during the first three years of a recovery. This decline is largely due to increased productivity as businesses become more efficient and do more with less.
Now, the press is focusing on
accelerating commodity prices, historically low interest rates, a weak dollar, rising shipping costs, and economic growth that exceeds its monetary poten-tial—all forces that could cause prices to rise and bring a return of inflation.
In order to be successful, a portfolio must be constructed around investments that are expected to outpace the rate of inflation. Over the long run, se-lective growth stocks, dividend-paying stocks, and high-income securities offer the best potential for returns that exceed the rate of inflation. To learn more about which investments are best suited to beat inflation, contact your financial professional today.

Four classes of Hemingway elementary third-grade students invited representatives from the Senior connection to come up last Friday so they could give them the money they had raised for the meals on Wheels program. each class raised $100, which amounted to $400 in much needed funds for the meals on Wheels program.Senior connection executive director Kimberly coonis had a chance to meet with the students. She said they asked great questions, and one little boy asked why they needed money to feed the people, to which she had the opportunity to ex-plain how the program serves 24,000 meals lo-cally and the money helps buy all the food for the people getting those meals.all the third-grade students received gift cer-tificates for a free ice cream cone at Scoops ice cream Parlor in the Senior connection. courteSy PHoto

OK—enough, I say! It’s 2:37 p.m. on a Monday afternoon—January 14, to
be exact—and it’s only 6 degrees. Actually, my outdoor thermom-eter had been registering the be-low-0 F. mark most all day and, in keeping with that thought, my refrigerator was sort of empty and extra cold as well. In it I had six partially still-frozen chicken legs, a head of green cabbage, some celery, and two carrots. Oh my—not very appetizing. On the countertop, I had one onion and one head of garlic. Yes, indeed, like Mother Hubbard, my cupboards were bare. I was up for the challenge mainly because I didn’t feel like braving the cold outdoors—I was shivering, even indoors—so what to make to warm myself with my few at-home ingredients? Soup, of course—including the special ingredients that I do keep in my freezer, such as a stash of herbs as well as cilantro and parsley. So, I used those, but if I hadn’t them, I would have used my dried variety (substitution mix is usually 1 Tbsp. of fresh equating to 1 tsp. of dried). This clear and delicate-tasting soup actually turned out so nice that I wanted to share it and my lovely creative experience with you.
Chicken and Cabbage Soup (to cure the b-b-b-brrrrrrs)
Serves as many as you wishIngredients:Chicken parts—6 legs or
whatever else your heart desires1 small green cabbage, cut
into 6 (more or less) wedges1 onion, cut as above for the
cabbage4 or 5 stalks of celery, cut into
4-inch pieces (leaves included, up to you)
2 carrots, peeled and also cut into 4-inch pieces
Bacon (I chopped the ends of some whole bacon that I had frozen)
Parsley—5 sprigs (once again from my frozen stash)
Thyme—3 sprigs (once again from my frozen stash)
Basel leaves, chopped (from my frozen stash)
Whole star anise—half of one Whole cloves—3 or 4 Bay leaf—1 Peppercorns—4Salt—1/2 tsp. (or more if you
wish)Potatoes (peeled, if need be,
and cut into smaller chunks), optional
Instructions:In a tallish pot, place enough
water to cover the chicken and veggies—that’ll probably be a couple of quarts or more. Bring water to a boil.
Throw everything in that wa-ter except for the green cabbage and potatoes.
Bring back to a boil and then turn to simmer. Simmer for half an hour.
Add the cabbage and the op-tional potatoes and bring back to a simmer for another half hour.
I didn’t feel like potatoes, so I made myself some noodles. Boy, my soup warmed me up imme-diately! Additionally, I enjoyed the light and fresh taste of the seasonings that I had randomly chosen for the broth. Finally, the challenge of using the few ingredients that I had in my space kept me on my toes on a freezing cold day and gave me a creative challenge and an ending satisfaction. So, that’s what I really wanted to share with you because you too can do this or maybe something even better. If so, e-mail The Weekly Sun with your unplanned and sudden creative dish. Don’t be shy!!! I can’t wait!

A new Star on The HorizonBy Bali SZaBo
While this may turn out to be a lost year for Lindsay Vonn, Ameri-
can teenager Mikaela Shiffrin is really coming on. Two weeks ago she won her third slalom of the season in Flachau, Austria. She is the only American ever to have two World Cup wins at her age (17). The great Anna Marie Moser-Proell of Austria (1971) is the only other woman to have won three straight events at that age. The tie occurred on the same day as the first record, 1/5/71. Mikaela won her race handily, besting the other podi-um finishers by about a second.
In Vonn’s absence, 23-year-old American Alice McKennis got her first World Cup win by taking a downhill in Italy by a slim .07 seconds. Amazin’ Tina Maze continued her dominant year by winning the Super-G in St. Anton, Austria. Along with Vonn, she’s one of only six women to have ever won the five different World Cup events of speed or skill.
At Adelboden, Marcel Hirscher won another slalom and Ted Ligety another GS. Business as usual.
Meanwhile, as the coming
Winter Olympics of 2014 at Sochi, Russia, loom over this year’s schedule, my fears rise in tandem. The ice-injected slopes are going to hurt people. Several skiers were hurt there last year, including Bode Miller, who is out for the year. The various in-surgencies in nearby Chechnya can probably be contained. Then there’s the story of the mascot, or the symbol, for the upcoming event—a transparent plastic ball known as a zorb. (Zorbing, along with the bungee jump and the zipline, was invented in New Zealand). Two people get fitted into harnesses and are strapped into a two-layered polyurethane, translucent ball, which then is allowed to roll downhill. Fun, until it turns into a form of Rus-sian roulette. Two locals decided to try it. The zorb started to bounce, then careened off course over a rock ledge and into a gorge. The two men were ejected. One of them died of his spinal injuries. A Russian government minister immediately chided the event organizers for their lax enforcement of safety rules for winter sports, since this was not an isolated event.
Last weekend the men were in Kitzbuehl for the Super-G, a slalom, and the sine qua non
of all downhills on the circuit, the Strief. Aksel Lund Svindal, the overall leader, pooh-poohed his Super-G win as ‘nice, but...’ Bragging rights in the cov-eted downhill went to Italian Dominik Paris who tamed the steep, fast, bumpy Hahnen-kamm run, and bested Hans Reichelt of Austria. The Austri-ans are not used to losing here.
In Maribor, Slovenia, the course had to be worked over with injection bars. This was Tina Maze’s turf, but it was Lindsay Vonn, fresh from her rest, who edged Tina in the GS by .09 seconds. In Sunday’s sla-lom, Mikaela managed a great second run to finish sixth to keep her category lead over the closing Tina Maze, who wants to have it all this year.
Lindsay, tell me it’s not true! You’re getting the upper hand on your depression, you got divorced, patched things up with your dad, conquered the ski world, but then this? Rumors are swirling that she’s dating Tiger Woods, while scuttlebutt also has it that Tiger (who has a 6-stroke lead in the San Diego tournament) is trying to get his ex-wife Elin Nordegren back. Lindsay, don’t be a pawn in this ménage à trois. tws

Moving On UpAlthough my college room-
mate and I moved to differentareas of the country after gradu-ating, we try to keep in touch.We both landed jobs that weliked with just enough incometo make ends meet.
Recently I heard that hemoved back to the city, so Icalled him up to find out abouthis new place.
"I bought a house on the out-skirts," he was very happy totell me.
"That's great," I encouraged."How far out of the city areyou?"
"It's pretty close to the city,"he laughed, "It's more on theoutskirts of my income!"

Fast FactsDear Classified Guys,I've been looking at homesrecently, but found it confusingwhen it comes to determiningtheir actual size. Regardless ofwhere I turn, I can't seem to geta straight answer. Whether Ilook at a for-sale-by-owner ad ora property listed by an agent,the square footage of the houseis calculated differently. Someowners add the area of theirgarage and basement. Othersinclude only the basement. Afew even included their deck offthe back of the house. Thismakes it very difficult to com-pare houses. In the end, I feellike I'm wasting my time sincemany of the houses are actuallysmaller than I expect them to be.It's very frustrating. Isn't therea standard anyone can follow tocalculate this information? Imean calculating squarefootage is basic 5th grade math.
Cash: I think the TV show "AreYou Smarter Than A 5th Grader?"proved there's nothing basic about5th grade. And as you've encoun-tered, calculating the squarefootage of a home is not asstraightforward as it seems either.
Carry: The problem you areexperiencing is actually a commondilemma in the housing market.Square footage calculations can
vary by region or by the individu-als who compute them.
Cash: Although there are somewho knowingly miscalculate thearea of a home to make it appearlarger than it actually is, most peo-ple are simply misinformed on howto calculate the correct dimensions.
Carry: There is a standard in theindustry for single-family homes.It's created by the AmericanNational Standards Institute, anonprofit organization comprisedof government agencies, tradegroups, businesses and academicinstitutions.
Cash: However, the use of thestandard is not mandatory or wellknown. In many cases owners andrealtors calculate square footagebased on their own knowledge orthe information that was given to
them. As you've experienced,some will include the garage, attic,storage areas, porches or decks intheir calculation. Others just copythe numbers found on the town orcity records.
Carry: Square footage should bemeasured from the outside of thehouse including the thickness ofthe walls. Then any areas that arenot heated living space, such as anunfinished basement or garage,should be subtracted.
Cash: Since you're finding theprocess frustrating, your best bet isto use their square footage as aguideline. Then acquire a list ofroom dimensions before venturingout to visit a property.
Carry: That way with a little 5thgrade math, you can determine theactual living area yourself.

Stretched OutNo matter how large your home
is, it never seems big enough.However, Americans top thecharts on the amount of space theyuse to live. A survey conductedby the U.S. Department of Energydetermined that the averageAmerican has 721 square feet ofliving space per person. Evenlower income Americans have anaverage of 439 square feet per per-son. According to the survey,these amounts of space are 50% to100% more square footage thanhousing in other nations.Study Up
By the 5th grade, most kidslearn the basics of reading, writingand arithmetic. Yet not all of usremember them as we grow up.That's what makes the game show,"Are You Smarter Than A 5thGrader?", a hit in so many coun-tries. Audiences enjoy watchingeducated adults get tested withgrade school questions. Sadly,most adults don't know theanswers. The reasons? Expertssuggest that information not perti-nent to daily life is often forgottenas we get older. The real questionis: Did we know the answers ingrade school?Got a question or funny story?

518 ravesReally hope the sometimes verrry self-important (and also somewhat nonsensical, too) controversies sur-rounding “Zero Dark Thirty” don’t dis-suade people from seeing it because it’s not only one of the very best films of 2012, but also one of the very best I’ve seen any time in the past 10- years or more. Even compared to many of director Kathryn Bigelow’s past superb films (including “Strange Days,” “The Hurt Locker” and “Point Break”), her latest is an absolute stand-out -- with special kudos to actresses Jessica Chastain and Jen-nifer Ehle.
