World downhill countdown begins

THE COUNTDOWN for the Molson World Downhill and Super G has begun.

The World Downhill at Whistler is slated for Feb. 25, with the Molson Super G scheduled for Feb. 26.

The two races, for the LaVazza Ski Alpine World Cups, will be the final races on the 1989 World Cup circuit and will decide the overall Downhill and Super G champions.

Race chairman Dave Murray says ‘‘everything is looking good*’ for a successful two days of racing.

**We installed $50,000 worth of additicnal safety equipment at a new part of the Carousel,”’ said Murray, ‘“‘and we’ve changed the last one-half kilometre of the course leading into the finish line,

which will make it much more challenging for the competitors and much more exciting for the spectators."°

The Whistler course, just under three kilometres long with a ver- tical drop of just under 1,000 feet, is ranked one of the top three in technical difficulty and one of the top two in speed content on the World Cup circuit.

“We've built a very interesting course with interesting terrain,’’ said Murray, a former member of Canada’s national ski team who now serves as Director of Skiing for Whistler Mountain.

The Molson World Downhill and Super G will also feature the newly-crowned World Champion in both disciplines.
