Newsletter Apr 13.Indd Volume 16, Number 4 April 2013 Greetings From The Director by John Schiemer s the season comes to a close, there is much to celebrate. There have been Aa number of outstanding performances by all of our athletes this year. This includes Freeride athletes who for the fi rst me competed in a Development Compe on, and Nordic athletes who for the fi rst me competed in one of our Ci zen Races. Or an Alpine Mini World Cup athlete who for the fi rst me entered the start shack with bu erfl ies in their stomach at the top of Cli anger. Finally, former MBSEF athlete Laurenne Ross makes the podium in a World Cup Downhill Race. It was great fun digging through our vast photo archive to fi nd the “old photo” of Laurenne. Congratula ons Laurenne, we are very proud of you and all of our athletes. Unfortunately, this is also the me of year where some of our coaches decide to make life decisions. I would like to sincerely thank Anna Schulz, one of our Nordic Coaches, who will be returning home to the East Coast to a end graduate school this fall. Anna has been with us for two years and has done an outstanding job with our Nordic Athletes. She will be greatly missed. Her enthusiasm and zest for life are infec ous, and the friendships she has formed NOW AND THEN . Laurenne Ross, 2nd Place with our older athletes will hopefully last a life me. Although replacing Anna will in 2013, First Alpine Skiing World Cup Podium in be diffi cult to do, we hope to make an announcement some me this summer on Garmisch-Partenkirchen Germany, and Laurenne who will be taking on this role. Ross, proudly showing her Buddy Werner Trophy in 2001. Way To Go Laurenne!!!!!!!!! As spring approaches, our Cycling program is kicking off with two a er school sessions. These sessions begin April 10 and again on May 15. Our Cycling Program is a great way for our athletes to stay connected with their MBSEF friends as well as maintain and improve their fi tness. We will also be running the short track mountain bike races at COCC in May, and the Criterium Series at Summit High School which also begins in June. Ali Halpin, our Cycling Program Coordinator, is happy to answer any ques ons you have about our program or our cycling events. In closing, I have thoroughly enjoyed this past year and am looking forward to the spring and summer events. I have appreciated the unsolicited comments and input that so many of you have provided on how to improve MBSEF. Although we may not be able to implement change for every idea, it is good to hear feedback, whether it is posi ve or nega ve. My objec ve is to help make the organiza on be er, so your comments are helpful. Finally, It is impossible for me thank all the people who help make MBSEF such a great organiza on in this issue of Ski Tracks. However, I would like to thank all of you who have volunteered your me and fi nancial support this past season; as they say, “you know who you are”. We could not put on high quality training or events for our athletes and the Central Oregon community without your help. On behalf of the MBSEF Board of Directors, thank you for your ongoing support. 2 UPCOMING EVENTS Apr 4-7 .............................

    PREVIEW 2019 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS - 5-17 Feb World Championships return to Sweden • Åre will host the World Championships for the third time after 1954 and 2007. • Austria is the most successful country at the World Championships with 95 gold medals, 99 silver, and 92 bronze medals (286 total medals). Switzerland is next on 191 medals - 64 gold, 68 silver, and 59 bronze. • Austria have collected at least one medal at 41 of the previous 44 world championships. The only exceptions are 1934, 1938 and 1939. • Austria (149) is one medal shy of winning its 150th medal in men's events. Norway (47) needs three more medals to reach 50 medals in men's events. • Sweden won its most gold (3) and its most total medals (7) in 2007, the last time the World Championships were held in Sweden (also Åre). • Sweden's last world title came at the World Championships in 2007, when Anja Pärson won the ladies' super-G, downhill, and alpine combined. • Pärson (7 gold) is one of four Swedish world champions alongside Ingemar Stenmark (5), Pernilla Wiberg (4) and Jonas Nilsson (1). Hirscher targets Sailer's record, Svindal bows out • Marcel Hirscher (6) is one world title shy of joining Toni Sailer as the only men with seven world titles. The other active skiers close to Sailer's men's record are Aksel Lund Svindal and Ted Ligety (both 5). • Hirscher (9) and Svindal (8) are closing in on joining four men on 10 or more World Championships medals: Kjetil André Aamodt (12), Marc Girardelli (11), Lasse Kjus (11) and Benjamin Raich (10).

  • Ancient Skiers Book 2014
    Second Edition - 2014 INTRODUCTION When I was asked if I would write the history of the Ancient Skiers, I was excited and willing. My husband, Jim, and I were a part of those early skiers during those memorable times. We had “been there and done that” and it was time to put it down on paper for future generations to enjoy. Yes, we were a part of The Ancient Skiers and it is a privilege to be able to tell you about them and the way things were. Life was different - and it was good! I met Jim on my first ski trip on the Milwaukee Ski Train to the Ski Bowl in 1938. He sat across the aisle and had the Sunday funnies - I had the cupcakes - we made a bond and he taught me to ski. We were married the next year. Jim became Certified as a ski instructor at the second certification exam put on by the Pacific Northwest Ski Association (PNSA) in 1940, at the Ski Bowl. I took the exam the next year at Paradise in 1941, to become the first woman in the United States to become a Certified Ski Instructor. Skiing has been my life, from teaching students, running a ski school, training instructors, and most of all being the Executive Secretary for the Pacific Northwest Ski Instructors Association (PNSIA) for over 16 years. I ran their Symposiums for 26 years, giving me the opportunity to work with many fine skiers from different regions as well as ski areas. Jim and I helped organize the PNSIA and served on their board for nearly 30 years.

  • Nella Storia Dello Sci Sci Alpino
    ATOMIC.COM PRESS RELEASE 18_03_2013 MARCEL HIRSCHER E MIKAELA SCHIFFRIN: NELLA STORIA DELLO SCI SCI ALPINO. CON I SECONDI POSTI IN GIGANTE (IERI) E IN SLALOM SPECIALE (OGGI) A LENZERHEIDE (SVI) L'ATLETA AUSTRIACO CONCLUDE LA SUA FANTASTICA STAGIONE RICEVENDO "UFFICIALMENTE" LA COPPA DI SLALOM E QUELLA ASSOLUTA. E VINCENDO LA CLASSIFICA ASSOLUTA PER IL SECONDO ANNO CONSECUTIVO, ENTRA A PIENO TITOLO NELLA STORIA DELLO SCI. IN CAMPO FEMMINILE ATOMIC CONQUISTA LA COPPA DEL MONDO DI SLALOM CON LA DICIOTTENNE MIKAELA SCHIFFRIN, TERZA GIOVANE DI SEMPRE A RIUSCIRCI Marcel Hirscher a Lenzerheide (SVI) conclude la sua straordinaria stagione di Coppa del Mondo, e lo fa con un due secondi posti: Slalom Gigante (sabato 16 marzo) e Slalom Speciale (oggi). Proprio in questa località nel 2007 esordì nel massimo circuito dello sci e nello stesso luogo, sei anni dopo, è entrato nella storia dello "sport bianco" perché è il decimo sciatore di sempre a conquistare per due anni consecutivi la Coppa del Mondo di Sci Alpino. Hirscher scrive dunque il suo nome a fianco dei "grandissimi" di questo sport che prima di lui fecero "doppietta" consecutiva, parliamo (in ordine cronologico) di Jean-Claude Killy, Karl Schranz, Gustavo Thoeni, Ingemar Stenmark, Phil Mahre, Marc Girardelli, Pirmin Zurbriggen, Hermann Maier e Stephan Eberharter. Senza dubbio è stato un cammino esaltante quello del 24enne austriaco in questa stagione, infatti, guardando il tabellino, va segnalato come su 20 gare di Coppa del Mondo in cui ha preso il via è riuscito a salire sul podio ben 18 volte (6 vittorie, 10 secondi posti, 2 terzi posti), che gli sono valse la Coppa del Mondo di Slalom (ottenuta con il secondo posto nella prova di Kranjska Gora del 10 marzo scorso) e quella "Assoluta".
