League skiing
focuses on fun
The "city league con
cept no longer applies only
to softball and basketball
Forty-two teams competed
in city league ski racing
this past winter on Mt
Hood
It's estimated that close
to 100 teams, or about 700
skiers, throughout the Nor
thwest are affiliated with
the Northwest City League
Circuit. About 22 teams
participated in a cham
pionship meet at Bend the
weekend before last
The resorts run their
leagues d iffe re n tly
At
Multorpor Ski Bowl, an
area also popular with high
school ski racers, skiers
are handicapped according
to their abilities
There is a handicap
night, and then the in

changes according to how
they ski throughout the
season The season was to
be eight weeks long, but
because of snow conditions
lasted only six weeks.
To set up a "perfect"
h a n d ic a p p in g

would be difficult in any
sport, Jonathan Lohnes,
Multorpor ski school direc
tor, pointed out And, the
handicapping system may

At the end of the season
awards are given to the
scratch team winners, the
fastest overall team, as
well as the team that wins
according to the handicap
system
I t ’s like a “ league within
a league," Lohnes said.
He said they investigated
all the methods of running
league before settling on
their particular system
"W e're happy with it at
this point," Lohnes said
“ It takes more time, but I
think that it ’s time well

Six skiers comprise a
team at Multorpor, and one
of those skiers must be a
Woman.
Eighteen team s com
peted in the city league at
Multorpor, compared to 11
at Tim berline and 13 at Mt
Hood Meadows
T h e fo rm a t used a t
Timberline which was the
same as the one used at M t
Bachelor for the Circuit
championship, employs a
scoring system sim ilar to
Nastar’s, only with a team
format
A person is handicapped
according to age and sex
T im b e r lin e 's season
lasted eight weeks, and a
four week season is plann
ed in August
Jeff Lokting. Tim berline
ski racing director, said ci
ty league ski racing is com
petitive as well as social
“ Anytime you're in a city
league situation, be it soft
ball or skiing, there w ill
always be rivalries bet
w een te a m s and i n
dividuals," Lokting said.
“ I don't think age has
anything to do with the
competitive spirit.”
A Tim ber line team, Han
na Industries of Portland,
won the Circuit title on the
slopes of M t. Bachelor
recently
The city league concept
"is definitely good for ski
in g ,’’ said Scott M o n
tgomery, ski racing direc
tor at Mt Hood Meadows
It's "popular and grow
ing," he added.
"The focus is on fun.
Basically it's set up as a
social event. ”
" I t ’s n o n -in tim id a tin g
competition instead of a
w in-at-all costs type of
thing," said Lohnes.
"Everyone can compete
at their own level and still
have fun,” he said. "T h e c i-
ty lea’ ue is an opportunity
for people to work into
another aspect of skiing,
besides just recreational
skiing "
