Bowen Reaches School Record in EVL’s Comeback

By Sam Wilson

Usually, as Elliot Bowen goes, so does the Ellicottville boys basketball team. Why would this milestone night be any different?

A pesky North Collins team held Bowen to 3 fi rst-half points and took a 27-23 halftime lead after Bowen sat three fi rstquarter minutes working to get back on a rolled ankle.

Great Valley Town Board members face more than 40 town residents who wanted to know what the town was going to do about steep tax hikes Monday night. The town board, which underestimated available sales tax revenues, is looking at rebates from their unexpected surplus.

The Great Valley Town Board appears to have found a solution to the 20 percent increases town residents recently found in their tax bills.

At a meeting attended by more than 40 residents Monday night, Supervisor Daniel Brown said he, Town Attorney Peter J. Sorgi and town board members had worked to develop options to correct the error, which occurred when the budget miscalculated the amount of sales tax revenue that would be available to reduce town taxes.

“We screwed up bad,” Brown said. “We underestimated the sales tax revenue. It won’t happen again.”

Celebrate Winter:

Super Indoor Projects & Snacks

By Mary Heyl

When the weather is too cold to set foot outdoors or even too warm to do anything but slosh around in the mud, sometimes the best way to spend the weekend is inside! While you may not be able to go outside to make a snowman, there are several ways to make one without snow. Read on for snowless snowman ideas, along with a delicious recipe to try out for next weekend’s Super Bowl party!

The No-Sew Sock Snowman is a cute addition to the windowsill and, depending on how large the sock, can make a great doorstop, too! Everyone has fallen victim to the dreaded missing sock phenomenon, but now those sock orphans will come in handy. Start by fi lling one white sock with rice (plan on using a couple of bags if you want to make more than one snowman).

Once you are satisfi ed with the size of your snowman, tie off the top with one or two rubber bands.

Next, take another rubber band and wrap it around the middle of the

sock, closer to the top, to form the head. Make sure to squish the rice around so that both the head and the body are the right proportions. Use craft glue or a hot glue gun to attach buttons or mini pompoms to the body of the snowman. Use markers to draw the face and glue two mini orange pompoms to each other and attach for the nose. Braid a scarf with yarn or make a scarf using ribbon and glue it around the snowman’s neck.

Now, cut the excess white sock off the top of the snowman’s head. Cut off the foot of the colored sock (right after the heel or

somewhere in the middle of the foot) and put it on the snowman’s head for his hat. Roll up the brim and secure with glue, if you like! Get creative and try different sock sizes, patterns, and colors for a whole family of Sock Snowmen.

You can even make a snowman right in the comfort of your own kitchen with this easy peanut butter playdough recipe. To make, combine one cup of creamy peanut butter with 2 cups of powdered sugar and ¼ to ½ cup of honey (just enough to make the dough stick together) with an electric mixer. Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to a week for maximum freshness.

Roll the dough into small balls to form a snowman. Experiment by using chocolate chips or chocolate candies for the buttons. Toothpicks or mini pretzel sticks make great arms. Why not give the snowman (or woman!) some hair by squeezing the dough through a garlic press? The possibilities are endless and the clean-up process will likely be very easy and fast, as this dough is too tasty to throw away.

As long as the family is having a great time in the kitchen, enlist their help in making tasty no-bake football cereal cookies.

Place six semi-sweet chocolate baking squares, ½ cup of light corn syrup and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 2 ½ minutes, stirring after 1 minute. Blend in ½ teaspoon of vanilla.

Next, add 4 cups of cocoa rice cereal to the bowl and mix well. Cool for 10 minutes. Shape the cereal mixture into about 18 (3-inch long) footballs with your hands (make sure hands are moistened with water or vegetable oil). Place the footballs on a wax-paper lined cookie sheet and allow them to cool completely. Use decorator’s gel to add laces and let the gel dry. Eat and enjoy!

While town taxes decreased slightly, residents’ county tax bills rose sharply. The increase on a $100,000 property was up to $300.

The increase in county taxes was supposed to mirror a decrease in the town tax levy as the town chose to apply its share of county sales taxes to the town taxes instead of the county tax levy. Twentynine other towns do it that way.

The estimate Cattaraugus County offi cials used in the 2018 county budget would bring the town $495,000 in sales tax revenues. Great Valley offi cials approved a conservative estimate of $75,000. It was the fi rst year they had decided to take the sales tax in cash.

The intent was to decrease town taxes while allowing county taxes to increase by a similar amount.

More than 50 people attended the town board’s organizational meeting Jan. 8 to question what was behind the big jump in tax bills.

On Monday night, Sorgi described a local initiative the town board could approve next month and quickly refund the excess taxes. A provision in New York Town Law, Section 112, provides the town board an opportunity to refund an unexpected surplus.

Sorgi said the most direct

way is to fi gure out how much each of the 1,500 parcels in the town faced with a higher county tax bill and distribute in in a matter of weeks or a month.

Board member Gerald Musall said only about 83 percent of the excess tax would be covered because $75,000, or 17 percent, had already been set aside to reduce the town tax levy.

“That’s where we are focusing our attention,” Sorgi said, referring to a formula that could be applied for the fair distribution of the sales tax.

“We’re still looking at the details.”

While state Sen. Catharine Young, R-Olean, and Assemblyman Joseph Giglio, R-Gowanda, had offered to sponsor legislation to allow the town to make the tax rebates, it would probably take until June to approve.

If it were approved, the governor would then need to sign it.

“This is the cleanest, simplest and quickest way to take care of the situation,” Sorgi said. “We believe this will solve the problem.”

One woman said that as someone on a fi xed budget, she will be unable to pay her taxes on time.

Sorgi said the town board could not pay late fees and interest. The individual will have to pay their taxes

before getting the rebate, he added.

One man asked about homeowners with escrow payments. Sorgi replied that the town will provide letters about the tax mistake to fi nancial institutions. Some people’s escrow may be bumped up in the meantime and it could go on for a year or two despite the letter.

Brown said the town had been advised for years to take its share of the town’s sales tax in cash to reduce its tax rate or for any projects or purchases.

“We hit a hell of a pothole, using numbers we thought were safe,” he said.

Sorgi added, “We’re trying to fi nd a creative way to fi x this thing in the least painful fashion.”

Brown again apologized to the residents in the audience.

“We were trying to do the right thing,” he said.

Sorgi said the sales tax revenue the town didn’t apply to the town tax levy amounted to “an unexpected surplus.”

“The law was enacted for an unexpected situation,” he added.

When the town board meets Feb. 13, it is expected to vote on a resolution to rebate the excess surplus.

“I like the solution,” one man in the audience said.

EVL Business Spotlight: Ellicottville Meets the West at Daff Dry Goods

By Mary Heyl

On days when it’s so cold that the snow squeaks under your boots and the wind makes your eyes water, it may be tempting to imagine a place where it rarely snows and the sun shines all the time.

Although it’s impossible to walk into a building and experience just that, walking into Daff Dry Goods is about as close as it gets. Owner Laura Solly’s eye for fashion and experience out west come together to offer visitors an inspired collection of men and women’s clothing, shoes and homewares that bring a much-needed ray of southwestern sunshine to snowy Ellicottville.

Daff Dry Goods (short for Dina and Arleen’s Fish Fry) opened in 1997 and was originally owned and operated by Solly’s mother, Arleen, and Dina Dipasquale, who both owned businesses of their own: Kazoo II and Dina’s restaurant.

Upon graduating from the University of Montana (where Solly transferred after studying in New Mexico) and returning home in 2000, Solly began managing the store for her mother and eventually bought out Dipasquale’s part and her mother’s part of the business. Since then, Daff, which is still right next door to Kazoo II, has continued to grow and become part of the unique history of this particular

block on Washington Street.

A visit to Daff reveals that it actually occupies two connected buildings, which have a unique history. Built in the late 19th century, Solly’s building has been a liquor store, a cutlery store and even a schoolroom. Like many older buildings, Daff is comprised of multiple rooms, both large and small, much like the dry goods stores that early

settlers of the American West would have depended on.

One of the store’s rooms is actually a “shoe store within a store,” making Daff a destination shop for many. Solly explained, “In the earlier years of our store, we had about 10 pairs of shoes and now we have over 100 pairs!”

Daff is known for its excellent selection of name brand high-quality boots and shoes including Danskos, Jambu footwear, Uggs and more. In keeping with Solly’s American West-inspired merchandise, Daff also carries a beautiful selection of Ariat riding boots and Minnetonka footwear including moccasin-style slippers for men, women and children.

Toward the back of the store, Daff houses a unique collection of homewares that you’ll want to take advantage of to ward off chilly weather. Shop a great variety of Pendleton and Woolrich blankets and

throws in striking patterns and color combinations, many of which are inspired

by Native American designs. These soft, warm wool blankets make a wonderful gift, although you may fi nd it hard to part with them.

Speaking of gifts, Daff Dry Goods is the perfect place to start your shopping, whether it’s for Valentine’s Day, a birthday gift, or just because! “Our customer service is what sets us apart and gives customers an experience they can’t get when shopping online.

We’re happy to offer gift wrapping and gift boxes year ‘round,” said Solly, whose store also carries gift cards. Even for those gifts that miss the mark, Daff Dry Goods is happy to accommodate their customers with a 30-day exchange and return policy (for credit card purchases).

Why go through the hassle of mailing back a return and waiting for the refund

or new item when you can take care of it all at Daff Dry Goods?

In addition to an impressive assortment of shoes, boots and homewares, Solly’s store regularly carries men’s and women’s clothing and accessories from brands including Brighton, Patagonia and Pendleton.

For those looking forward to warmer days ahead or traveling to Florida for the remaining winter months, Daff Dry Goods will soon be stocking their spring items, which include a selection of Patagonia clothing in beautiful pastels and lighter fl eeces and cottons that are perfect for warmer temperatures.

Daff Dry Goods, which is located at 17 Washington Street, is open daily at 10 a.m. Learn more about Solly’s story at www. daffevl.com, and be sure to follow Daff Dry Goods on Facebook and Instagram.

Alianello said the Committee has been obtaining easements from property owners which allows grading and clearing, and will provide an easement to the Town of Ellicottville as a legal sponsor. The Trail will then be covered under the town’s insurance policy. The fi rst phase extends northward from Ellicottville Central School to the foot of Holiday Valley Road, joining the trail system to the public sidewalk along Jefferson Street.

The path picks up again at Mechanic Street to the Ellicottville Library, American Legion and Nannen Arboretum, then course along near the base of a hill to skirt wetlands, rejoining Route 219 near Tim Horton’s.

Alianello said the Committee obtained a nationwide EPA permit for the wetland portion of the route, obtaining a wetland delineation to defi ne the route that will affect onetenth of an acre or less, or 349 square feet. The trail construction includes an 18-foot retaining wall and the donation of bridge steel for a pedestrian bridge. The salvaged bridge is donated by the Cattaraugus County Department of Public Works, which will assist in the wetland mitigation work. Authorities also require avoidance of impacts to the threatened northern long-eared bat and the Committee has agreed to remove timber during winter or early spring before the species begins nesting.

Town Planner Gary Palumbo reviewed how the project has evolved, and past efforts by the Planning Board to stay informed on the progress of the project, including the Board’s initial 2012 vote in support and the master plan outlining the EVGV Trail.

A past Town Board decision, as lead agent in a State Environmental Quality Review action, established that the project did not pose a negative impact to the environment.

For that reason, Palumbo

said, along with the fact that there is no change in land use or structures along the route that require alteration, mean the Planning Board is not required to conduct a site plan review. He noted the pedestrian bridge is also not subject to a permitting process governed by the Planning Board.

Offi cials provided information regarding owner concerns about the trail’s 30-foot wide design and property easements and setbacks. Palumbo said it appears the setbacks are 15 feet for the affected property lines and are measured from the property line, not the trail. He and Code Enforcement Offi cer Kelly Fredrickson pointed out any development restrictions along those boundaries will not change due to the trail.

The Planning Board members unanimously approved a motion authorizing Palumbo to write a letter explaining how setbacks are measured for private property owners along the trail easements.

There was a general agreement in reaction to Board member Doc Dayton’s suggestion that the evolving trail plan should be updated and given more detail in the town’s Comprehensive Plan.

In other matters: • At Aspen Drive, with the Board’s signal to rearrange property lines at adjoining, privately-owned parcels, the vote enables placement of a new garage near a shared lot line, with no impacts to neighbors.

• Palumbo will provide the Board with information on two topics: new regulations for disposal of construction and demolition waste and, at the request of former Board member John Zerfas, message boards relating to the town’s Sign Code.

• Veteran Board member Doc Dayton was selected to serve as Vice Chairman, fi lling the vacancy created

by Zerfas’ exit.

• New Board members Bonnie Koschir and Caitlin Croft were welcomed to the panel.

ECS Board Holds Brief Regular Meeting

By Rich Place

The Ellicottville School Board hosted a relatively short meeting Tuesday with mostly routine resolutions approved.

The board met for nearly a half hour in executive session at the beginning of the meeting and also concluded in a second closed door session. The public session between spanned less than 15 minutes.

“It’s a busy time of year, busy doing a lot of things but not a lot of brand new things going on,” said Superintendent Bob Miller.

Among the resolutions, the board approved the retirement of Therese Pierce, effective at the end of the school year.

The elementary special education teacher has been at Ellicottville Central since 1991 and, prior to

that, taught at Ellicottville BOCES for seven years, according to the district’s website.

“She has served our district very well for several years and we do surely appreciate her and will miss her dearly,” said School Board President Connie Hellwig.

The board also approved allowing the school to transport students and chaperones to and from Toronto Pearson Airport on Feb. 17 and Feb. 25.

A total of 14 students will take a trip to Costa Rica during the school’s break in February.

At a previous meeting, Spanish teacher Jamie Edwards had outlined the student trip, which will include many cultural opportunities for students.

In his superintendent’s report, Miller said there

will be a PowerSchool training session during the Superintendent’s Day on Friday, allowing staff members involved in the student database software to learn more about it.

“It’ll be a good training for us,” he said. “We’ve been paying for this service for years and we’ve gotten so we are good at it, but we can always have some room for improvements.”

He also reported there was a “very small number” of students taking Regents exams during the week. He also mentioned the school had three students who attended this session of county government.

The Ellicottville School Board is scheduled to meet again at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 6 in the high school library.

Village, Town Agree to Purchase New Sidewalk Plow

By Rich Place

The Ellicottville Village Board held a special meeting Friday, Jan. 19 to purchase a new sidewalk plow in conjunction with the town.

The Ellicottville Town Board two days prior had agreed to pay for half the cost of the $137,871 machine, a Prinoth SW-4S. “It’s basically the same machine with a lot of the upgrades we currently have, which means various equipment and attachments will fi t,” said Mayor John Burrell to the board at the meeting.

Trustee Greg Cappelli said three attachments — an angle blade, snowblower and a sand and salter — should be able to hook up to the new machine with modifi cation. The purchase will also include a new V-plow.

“If you look at the whole thing it is very expensive, but what we didn’t do with the last one is we didn’t maintain it,” Cappelli said.

“We need to maintain it.”

There was discussion about setting up a system in which the sidewalk plow would be traded in annually; with a one-year

warranty that would be a signifi cantly reduced maintenance cost to the town and village.

“It may make sense for us to trade it every year,” Cappelli said. “It may cost us $15,000 to $18,000 a year but you aren’t making any maintenance to it because of the warranty.”

One of the older machines, a Bombardier sidewalk plow, is expected to be traded-in at a value of $10,000, Burrell said.

Bowen

Continued from front page

But the 6-foot-6 senior center played a near-perfect second half, fi nishing with 23 points on 8-of-9 fi eld goal shooting to break the all-time Ellicottville scoring record in a 68-49 victory.

Bowen needed 20 points entering Thursday’s game to break the mark of 1,387 set by Matt Linsler (Class of 1995). He scored his 20th and 21st in the fourth quarter to set the record on a reverse layup assisted by classmate Griffi n Chudy from the wing. The Eagles on the bench and fans erupted in celebration, and coach Dave McCann called a timeout with 2:09 remaining to present him with a basketball signed by his teammates.

“I HAD mentioned it to some of the guys,” McCann said, “because I wanted them to sign the basketball for him and kind of be aware that this was an important milestone for him. He just found out yesterday, I mentioned it to him, (because) he wasn’t really tracking it himself.”

Coincidentally, Bowen reached the 1,000-point mark exactly a year ago: Jan. 18, 2017. McCann said that’s when he started to realize Bowen, a four-year starter, could reach the school record.

“Really his sophomore and junior years he had some big numbers pointwise to get to 1,000 on this date last year,” McCann said. “I thought that was a possibility from this point last year.”

Bowen shot 5-of-7 from the free-throw line and grabbed a team-best 11 rebounds. Chudy fi nished with 21 points, six assists and fi ve steals. Austin Grinols added six assists and three steals and Steven Rowland had six boards.

Tanner Loretto scored 18 points to lead North Collins (4-10) while Brandan Zielinski addaed 15.

McCann said his team needed to settle down after the injury scare, and 13 fi rst-half turnovers.

“In the back of their

Teammates congratulate Ellicottville senior Elliot Bowen after breaking the school’s all-time career scoring record. heads they were thinking about his well-being,” he said, “but once they settled in and once we talked at halftime, we didn’t make any major adjustments, we just had to take care of the basketball better and pick up our intensity.”

Bowen, considering colleges to continue playing next year, was softspoken in celebrating his accomplishment.

“It feels good because I’ve put in a lot of hard work to get to this for four years,” he said.

Bowen added his grandmother and he have discussed the record, but ultimately, “we’re after championships.”

Of his fellow fouryear varsity players and co-captains, Chudy and Grinols, he added, “They’ve helped me a lot. They’ve given me confi dence when I’m having a bad game, when I miss a shot they’ll say ‘You’re OK, you’ll get the next one,’ little stuff like that.”

While Bowen showed quiet humility, his fouryear teammates glowed in praising him.

“He’s in the gym all the time, every day, always trying to perfect his game,” Chudy said of how Bowen reached the milestone.

“Throughout the summer, he’s playing AAU, he’s playing in the spring. Every chance he gets he’s on the basketball court.”

Grinols, the point guard, said he didn’t worry Thursday about Bowen

getting the ball.

“Whenever we get the chance to get Elliot the ball, we’re going to take it,” he said. “He’s scoring 20 on like a nightly (basis), so if he’s just going to play (his) game, he was going to get it.”

Both expressed their appreciation for playing alongside the school’s leading scorer, who has the rest of the season to chase a division and sectional title while extending his record 1,391 points.

“It’s been awesome to be a part of it with him, being there through it all, through everything,” Grinols said.

“Super proud of him,” Chudy added, “He’s worked his butt off since Day 1 since he came here and he’s always gotten better. Now he’s the leading scorer all-time and he’s well deserving.”

Strength Training Rules for Women

By Kim Duke NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer

When I write my articles, I attempt to address all fi tness levels and both genders. However, I am going to be gender biased with this article, and write specifi cally about women and strength training.

Why, you may wonder— because many of my clients are women who grow frustrated when the results they desire from their workouts do not seem to come quick enough. To this group of women, I say let’s take a lesson from our male counterpart.

So, what in the world can women learn from the average muscle-head in the local gym? A lot.

I won’t pretend that men do anything better than women in the weight room. But, I think they understand a few concepts that women tend to ignore.

These concepts are actually very important rules for women who are serious about getting fi t.

Rule No. 1: The purpose of lifting weights is to build muscle. What I always fi nd interesting is that women say they want to tone, shape or sculpt their bodies. These words cater to women by telling them they can make their muscles look better without

them getting bigger. This is not a realistic or healthy way to look at your muscles. If the weights are unchallenging, your muscles won’t grow. If your muscles don’t grow, they won’t look any better than they do now, even if someone could strip off whatever fat sits on top of them. With or without excess fat, your body simply will not look healthy and fi t without well-trained muscle tissue.

Rule No. 2: Muscle is hard to build. Bulky… this is a word I hear from women too. “I don’t want to get too bulky.”

Unless you are an extreme genetic freak, you can’t get too bulky. A women’s body will not allow it.

We are not blessed with testosterone like a man.

The most likely outcome, assuming you are willing to work hard, is that you’ll come away with a small net loss in body weight, but a dramatic difference in the way your body looks in the mirror and the way your clothes fi t.

Rule No. 3: Results come from hard work and heavy weights. This rule seems obvious. However, after years of working in gyms, I will never understand the women who work like galley slaves in spinning class but will choose Barbie colored weights in the weight room. It’s not enough to progress from lifting the Barbie bells 15-20 times.

It may tire you out, but it will not make your muscle bigger. Muscles grow for a variety of reasons, but

the main one is strength.

If you force them to get stronger, they will get bigger.

Rule No. 4: From time to time, you have to break some rules. From my experience working in big gyms, you tend to see men, more often than women, lifting too much weight and using less than perfect form. While this can lead to injury, it also shows that guys are willing to push themselves out to the edge of acceptable form to get that extra repetition in their fi nal set of an exercise.

You will rarely see women deviate from the textbook description of the exercise.

While I’d never advocate lifting with bad form, there is more to strength training than coloring inside the lines.

I get that there is a certain amount of fear associated with going heavier and training harder.

No one wants to risk an injury for the sake of one more repetition. However, your body is designed for natural movement patterns, which support a range of variations. If what you are doing feels unnatural, think twice before doing it. If it’s what your body was designed to do, it’s probably not bad form… and a little extra can go along way.

So, if you are a woman who truly aspires to get strong, build muscle and get lean, you need to have a fi rm grasp of the reality of this undertaking or it’s just not going to work. And remember— you only fail when you stop trying.

“Robicheaux” by James Lee Burke James Lee Burke’s most beloved character, Dave Robicheaux, returns in this gritty, atmospheric mystery set in the towns and backwoods of Louisiana.

Between his recurrent nightmares about Vietnam, his battle with alcoholism, and the sudden loss of his beloved wife, Molly, Dave’s thoughts drift from one irreconcilable memory to the next. Images of ghosts at Spanish Lake live on the edge of his vision.

During a murder investigation, Dave Robicheaux discovers he may have committed the homicide he’s investigating, one which involved the death of the man who took the life of Dave’s beloved wife. As he works to clear his name and make sense of the murder, Robicheaux encounters a cast of characters and a resurgence of dark social forces that threaten to destroy all of those whom he loves.

County Reports Record Lodging Revenue in EVL in 2017

The Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce, on behalf of all our members, is proud to report that we have again set another record for overnight stays in Ellicottville!

In the fi nal quarter of 2017, Ellicottville surpassed its best fourth quarter results and equaled its best year overall with just under 60 percent of all county lodging revenues coming from Ellicottville.

Of the total county wide collections of $806,000,

just under $469,000 came from Ellicottville’s hotels B &Bs and condos.

“It’s a combination of great events, an amazing blend of retail, restaurants, nightlife and a consistent marketing effort by the Chamber,” said Brian McFadden, Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce. “We are fortunate to have two top notch ski areas and especially all of the summer activities offered at Holiday Valley.”

In 2017, the Chamber’s 11 multi-day festivals and events continued to grow and draw overnight visitors. With the addition of the fi rst annual Lacrosse Festival held in September, we are sure to see continued growth. The lacrosse event drew 38 teams in its fi rst year of a fi ve-year contract with over 2,000 visitors attending.

Not being an organization to rest on its laurels, stay tuned for more in 2018.

Winter Olympics 101:

HoliMont_Ad_7x10875_122617.indd 1

1/1/2018 12:17:27 PM

Alpine, freestyle, snowboarding, ski jumping

By Alicia Dziak

The XXIII Olympic Winter Games will be upon us Feb. 9-25, this year being held in PyeongChang, South Korea. The Games will be the fi rst ever Olympic Winter Games with over 100 gold medals.

While the Olympics offer a variety of exciting winter sports, probably none hit closer to home for residents and visitors of Ellicottville than the numerous skiing and snowboarding events.

Here is a rundown of what you can expect: Alpine Skiing Alpine skiing fi rst became part of the Olympics in 1936 and today makes up 10 events: downhill, slalom, giant slalom, super giant, and super combined races, each for men and women.

The downhill event features the longest courses with the highest speeds, with skiers covering one distance at a time.

In the slalom, the course is marked with fl ags and gates spaced close together.

Athletes must ski two courses, with the sum of their results making up their total time.

In the giant slalom, gates are placed farther apart than in the slalom, but not as far apart as in the super-G. The result is the sum of the skier’s times on two different courses.

The super giant, better known as the super G, incorporates aspects of both the downhill and the giant slalom, with athletes achieving speeds as high as in the downhill, but on a course on which the gates are placed about the same distance apart as in the giant slalom. Each skier gets one attempt at the course.

The super combined incorporates aspects of both the downhill and the slalom.

New this year is the Alpine Skiing Team Event, a race conducted as a parallel event in which giant slalom gates and fl ags will be used. A team consists of four competitors (two men and two women), with teams competing in a single elimination tournament. Alpine skiing events begin Feb. 11.

Freestyle Skiing Olympic freestyle events include mogul skiing (debuting in 1988), aerials (debuting in 1992), ski cross (debuting in 2010), and ski halfpipe

and ski slopestyle (debuting in 2014).

The mogul event is a descent down a bumpy slope in which athletes are required to perform two jumps on their way through the course.

The aerials event includes a qualifying round and a fi nal round in which athletes complete two special ski jumps each. Skiers are judged on technique for jump takeoff, jump form and landing.

Ski cross also includes a qualifying round and a fi nal round, and athletes race individually down a course with turns and obstacles.

In the ski halfpipe, athletes perform on a halfpipe slope on freestyle skis, performing various tricks, such as fl ips and twists, with two runs per athlete in each of the qualifying and fi nal rounds.

Ski slopestyle entails athletes performing on a slope with various types of obstacles, such as rails and quarter pipes. This competition follows an elimination format, with two runs in each round.

Freestyle skiing events begin Feb. 9.

Ski Jumping Ski jumping has been a part of the Winter Olympics since 1924, with women competing in the event for the fi rst time in 2014.

Four events make up this discipline: the men’s and women’s individual normal hill competition, the men’s individual large hill competition, and the men’s team competition.

The individual normal hill competition features athletes making two jumps from a hill (105 meters), the winner being the one whose total score of both jumps is the highest. The winner is the athlete with the highest total score, based on distances of the jumps.

The individual large hill competition is structured the same as the normal hill event, but the hill size is 140 meters.

The team competition takes place on the large hill, with each member of the four-person teams jumping, and the combined high scoring team taking home the gold.

Ski jumping events begin Feb. 10.

Snowboarding Snowboarding debuted

A Family Run Business in the Heart of the Enchanted Mountains.

All-Season Propane Delivery Budget Program for Auto Delivery and Cost Savings

in the Olympics in 1998, with parallel slalom and slopestyle appearing for the fi rst time in 2014 in Sochi, Russia. Other events making up this discipline are halfpipe, parallel giant slalom and snowboard cross.

The halfpipe competition is held on a halfpipeshaped course, where snowboarders come up over the rim and perform various aerial tricks.

In the parallel giant slalom, two athletes compete simultaneously on parallel courses. Winners of the qualifying round advance to the fi nals and then compete on an elimination basis.

Snowboard cross takes place on a course of moguls, obstacles, banks and jumps. Athletes are subject to elimination in qualifying runs, with qualifying round results determining athletes’ places in the fi nal groups. The fi nal group run determines who medals.

In the slopestyle event, snowboarders perform on a slope featuring various forms of obstacles. Like its ski event counterpart, snowboarding slopestyle follows an elimination format, with two runs in each round.

The parallel slalom features two athletes traversing parallel courses marked with fl ags. The athlete who covers the distance the fastest while following the course rules is the winner.

New this year is the Snowboard Big Air event for both men and women, in which competitors ride a snowboard down a hill and performs tricks after launching off very large jumps.Snowboarding events begin Feb. 11.

Whether you enjoy acrobatics and tricks, or speed and precision, the Olympics’ skiing and snowboarding events offer nonstop excitement. Be sure to tune in on one of the many days these events will be televised to get in on the action!
