IO -S A N D Y (O re ) POST Thur».. Fab 21. 1985 (Sec I) Hosts soothe skiers’ tempers with smile I.inda Cockram Skiing can be a frustrating ex perience for both beginnner and advanced skier alike. The frustration may begin for some skiers before they even get to the slopes, just fighting the tra f fic. Other skiers may loose their temper tryin g to haul their skis and poles from the car to the lodge while wearing those s tiff ski boots F o r what ever reason that might have made the trip to the mountain less than enjoyable, the Ski Host is waiting at the lodge to help make the day on the slopes an enjoyable one Bob Tourtillot, Ski Host coor dinator at Tim berline tries to focus on the families, and get them off to a good start in the mor ning "One thing I try to do in the morning, when the parents are getting the whole fam ily together and everybody is starting to get a little bit testy after dragging their equipment up here (from the parking lot to the lodge), is help mom' get into her skis while ‘dad’ is helping the kids into their skis, and let everybody know that there are Ski Hosts all over the h ill to help the fam ily have a good time and kind of jolly things up ” The Ski Hosts at Timberline focus in on what they call “ high density areas," explained Linda Cockram, also a Ski Host coor dinator. "These are areas such as — in front of the lodge, the top of Pucci ia highly used ski lift), or on crowded slopes," said Cockram In addition to the Ski Hosts con cern with "high density areas,” they also try to be in a position of "high v is ib ility ." "O ur goal is to have everybody that skis here in a day encounter a Host at least tw ice." The bottom line is that the ski hosts want the skiers to know that the area is doing something to help the skiers enjoy themselves "We don't want to just take the skiers money and ru n ," said B ill Conerly, public relations coor dinator at Tim berline "W e’re saying, we are here to serve the skier and how can we serve them bette r," added Coner ly On m ost days yo u ’ll fin g Cockram skiing along, helping with any one of the three ski schools that teach at Timberline, helping the instructors pick-up the kids after they’ve fallen " I like to wait for the little kids to fall, they're so cute, and fun to work w ith ," said Cockram For Tourtillot, the real satisfac tion comes with helping skiers progress with their skiing I like to talk to people about their skiing, and try to help them progress I ’m not an instructor, but what I ’ll do is try to take peo ple on new slopes that w ill help their skiing While Tourtillot and Cockram both boast over 15 seasons of ski ing, Conerly stresses the need for them not to show-off their skills, adding that intim idating a skier in need of assistance can be a obstacle. “ We don’t want to intimidate a skier by skiing up to them and giv ing them a nice hockey stop and saying: Hey, let me help you.' Most skiers w ill say ‘no-way ’ They don't want somebody tha4 can ski to watch them floundering around in the snow,” explained Conerly. Meanwhile. Conerly, a Ski Host for the past five years, noted that it's necessary for a Ski Host to be a strong intermediate skier "W e’re not in the business of looking good and skiing fast, however, we can't afford to teach our Hosts to ski,” said Conerly In the future, the veteran Ski Host hopes to set-up selecting criteria for next seasons re cru it ment of volunteer Ski Hosts The choosen few who get to wear the distinctive blue jackets donated by White Stag w ill be en titled to several benefits, accor ding to Conerly. "Ski Hosts receive a day-night ticket to be used before, and after their half-a-day duty I think the half-a-day duty works nicely, it allows are host to get some free time in on the slopes," said Coner ly Conerly added that Ski Host receive a free ticket after working three days. For volunteer Ski Host, David Gillespie, a business m ajor at Portland State Univ., the benefit is more than just the free ticket "Because I work and go to school. Ski Hosting gives me the chance to get up to mountain and ski on the weekends. It also gives the opportunity to meet the people who work up here and ski here,” said Gillespie Loggers take first at regional tourney One of the Sandy re creation basketball teams.
