It`s All About the Trips! - Over The Hill Gang, International
® It’s All About the Trips! An overview of the coming year’s adventures T he snow is flying here in Colorado, the first resorts are open (Arapahoe Basin and Loveland), and the ski season is off to another glorious start. The Men’s and Women’s Clinics will be going out with an excellent crowd December 3-9 at Keystone and Winter Park respectively. These clinics are a great way to begin preparing for the new ski season, and even though they are only a few weeks away, it's never too late to sign up if you are still interested. Please call Lynn or Jennifer for details. Why not join us for a bit of pre-holiday spirit on the slopes for the first runs of the new season, as we will be in Winter Park during the week of December 9-14, and would love to have you along!

Slowly skiing evolved from an efficient method of winter travel and, by the 1700s, had become both a cross-country and downhill sport. But it wasn’t until the 1930s that downhill skiing really caught on in Europe. From ancient times, skis were made of wood. In 1950 a pair of hickory skis weighed about five pounds. That same year, Howard Head introduced metal skis. They weighed half as much, turned easier, were faster, and changed the construction of skis forever. Head stubbornly pursued his vision over a three-year period until he finally overcame the technical problems. The international racing community adopted the final system, with a surface layer of rubber to reduce vibration, in 1964. Sales to recreational skiers soon followed, creating an unchallenged market for Head’s invention. Ski designs dramatically changed in length and shape throughout the years to follow. Their length was shortened to five-feet or less and their shape formed a parabolic contour by widely flaring the shovels and tails. To everyone’s delight, these new skis turned easier and seemed to float on the snow. Along with modern skis came the demand for improved ski clothing. Of the man-made fibers, polyester has adapted exceptionally well to these demands. It is superior to wool and cotton in useful ways: it is lighter in weight; amazingly warm, even when wet with perspiration; increases warmth by cleverly wicking moisture away from the body; and conveniently drips-dry overnight. Nowadays, to keep warm on a cold mountain, a skier can dress in an entire polyester outfit, except for the parka’s nylon outer shell needed to repel water and wind. Learning to ski can be humbling, especially for fearful adults, while children often forget their fears and learn fast just by having fun. Though skiing is a solitary experience, it draws together like-minded enthusiasts, a community from which individuals can gain confidence. Difficulty mounts when advanced turns are attempted: The maneuver requires launching the body into the new direction, out into space. Managing this is possible only when you overcome your dependence on the beginner technique of leaning into the hill for balance and security. When you are ready, the sport of alpine skiing pits the lone skier against the changing character of the snow. First-tracks through new snow are a rare treat. Usually before long, skiers wantonly break the smooth, soft, fluffy surface into mounds of packed snow and hard slippery patches. The altered surface is now an intimidating challenge. It takes integration of mind and body with Zen-like concentration to ski some slopes. The ever-changing weather conditions in the mountains are beyond a skier’s control. When wind velocity gets too high, chair lifts, suspended from thick cables of woven steel wires, are in danger of jumping pulleys if they swing too widely. Thus skiers, hunkered down in moving chairs on gusting days, are grateful to reliable lift operators for safe rides up the mountain. On blustery days with heavy cloud cover, powdery snowfall, and a drop in temperature, an extra polyester layer and yellow lenses are helpful. These are special, stimulating days to ski the mountain. At day’s end skiers are sated, tired, coated with snow, and may even have icicles hanging from their moustaches. Skiing is more than sliding down a snow-covered hill: The physical venture within a frosty environment stirs a powerful sense of wellbeing. Skiing feels like you are floating down the mountain, effortlessly turning in sequence, secure and confident. It is a priceless sensation you hunger to repeat. Join me on the OTHGI Aspen trip in January, the Snowmass trip in March or one of the other trips, and experience fun and camaraderie for yourself! – Howard Selden, OTHGI member since 1995 2 THE LEGEND • WINTER 2006 The Legend Volume 28, No. 4, Winter 2006 A copyright publication of OTHG, INC.

I'm sorry to be so tardy with telling you about my December 2005 OTHGI Men's Clinic Adaptive Ski experience at Breckenridge. Simply stated in three words: IT WAS WONDERFUL! Stephanie Meier is the office manager and had all of the paper work organized when I walked in the door. The office was relatively easy to find, close to the base of the new Beaver Run lift on Peak 9. I arrived two days early to try to get used to the altitude. I highly recommend this for a sea level person going to 10K feet. My first day of skiing was Monday. I met my instructor at 8:30 AM, and he took me two blocks down town to the equipment rental shop to get my skis and poles. The shop was well equipped with new K2 shaped skis in all lengths. They fitted my boots and off we went! I had requested to ski in the mornings, so we took the new Beaver Run 6 passenger chair up the mountain. Joe had both of us wearing Blind Skier vests; his said “BS Guide – Bob Sloan, Blind Skier.” At the top of the lift we talked about where I would like him to ski, in front or behind me. Since I had never been on this hill before I elected for him to ski ahead of me to pick the entry to the main slope. He was very careful and constantly looked back to check on me. When we arrived on the clear slope he again questioned me about what I could see and where I wanted him to ski. I elected behind me so that I could set the speed down the hill. We stopped twice on our way to the bottom so I could catch up with the thin air, got in line and went back up. Once more and the morning was finished. Joe took me into the locker room and found my locker for me. In went the skis and poles; out came the key. We could not have lunch together as he had to prepare for his afternoon lesson. Wednesday was my next day to ski and we repeated Monday with the exception that we took a different lift to the top of Peak 9. We skied all morning and again quit at noon. I decided not to ski either Thursday or Friday so Joe returned my skis to the rental shop for me. The trip was attended by a fine group of gentlemen, all of whom included me in their groups. Our clinic trip host, Bob Bernstein, became an instant best friend. He introduced me to the "normal" participants, got me the best seat on the bus and made what could have been difficult situations easy. This trip wouldn't have been as much fun without his help. That's about it. Thank you for taking a chance with me as your initial adaptive skier. The Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center group is top notch. Joe was a perfect companion and guide. I am planning to be back this year. – Bob Sloan, OTHGI member since 1989 4 THE LEGEND • WINTER 2006 NEW 2006-07 OVER THE HILL GANG Member Benefits Thanks to these new partners for their generous participation in OTHG's Membership Benefits Program: Purgatory/Durango Mountain Resort, 30 percent off lift ticket window rate upon presentation of an OTHGI Membership Card.
