Bridger Bowl, the local ski area which usually opens around the middle of December, didn't get to open until the second weekend in January and even then it had a minimal amount of snow. Ironically, Bridger closed April 6, with 28 inches of powder, but no funds to keep things going. Despite adverse conditions, many students, one way or another, man- aged to get in a lot of great skiing and were pretty well burned out and ready for spring by April 6. Although skiing isn't a varsity sport at BSHS, competitive ski racing is still possible by joining the Bridger Ski Education Foundation. Racers part- icipate in a busy schedule of races but most of the fun lies in road trips and skiing at different resorts. Bridgers varied terrain accomodates a diverse crowd of skiers. There is the ever prevalent dogger who butch- ers the hill each week with his short skis and the recreationist who's phil- osophy is to go fast and have fun plus many more. ' The life time sports class added downhill skiing to their curriculum this year and were able to take a half day of school off for skiing and instruction at Bridger. Cross country skiing is gaining popularity at BSHS. Mostly because you can do it just anytime, just about anywhere. Skinny-ski racing is also possible but not a school sport. Several BSHS students competed in national competition and Greg Johnson was invited to help out with the cross country events at the Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, NY. Junior Ski Patrol, from around the state, participate in a seminar. Lili Folsom tlast year's champl competes in the Bridger Bowl Bump Off. VE? skiingf 101

back into the water. fl?-v Take a Dm Most of us, when we get up in the morning, slide out of bed and climb l i away fly's a home .ng Unidentified swimming object! 'Vis .. 'Pu' into a hot steaming shower, just to wake ourselves up. We then proceed to take time to blow dry our hair, pick out just the perfect outfit to wear and last, but not least, sit down and enjoy a leisurely, appetizing breakfast. But what happens to a swimmer in the morning? First of all, it's rise and shine around 5:30 a.m. - in the morning? He or she pulls on whatever's available and races down to the pool. A workout starts at 6 a.m. and ends at 7:45, but during that hour and a half they swim an average of 3,000 meters. That's not all. After school the swimmers put in another 4,500 met- ers. Now we know how the girl's team took second at state and the boys took sixth - hours of grueling practice. Jan Heimburg finished second in the 100-yard butterfly and fourth in the 200-yard individual medleyg Deena Degnan took fourth in the 100-yard freestyle and sixth in the 50-yard freestyle: Emily Lapeyre took fourth in the 500-yard freestyleg Mary Lapeyre and Anne Burroughs placed second and third in the 100-yard breaststroke. Brian Stanford won both the 50-yard freestyle and 100-yard freestyle, Hale Thurston took third in the 500-yard freestyleg Richard McClure placed fourth in the 100-yard backstroke and fifth in the 200-yard individual medley. The diving team had a very success- ful season with the girls finishing second at state and Clark Kelly finishing first. Janet Bailey finished fourth in state followed by Kema Soderberg with fifth. When asked what the most exciting thing that happened during the season Kema said, The trips, diving with Charles and doing flips off the dressers in the motel rooms. Other swim team members were Julie Creed, Mary Murphy, Louise Pierre, Lynn Netherton, Paula Hunt. Debbie Halpin, Craig Bowman, Mike Maroney, Jeff Cotterell, Randy Sailer, Kevin Lineback and Brian Phillips. Swimming! 103
