Japanese snowboarder Ayumu Hirano is poised as next halfpipe champion By Jason Blevins The Denver Post The Denver Post Posted:

DenverPost.com

VAIL — If Ayumu Hirano can respond with a mumble, he will. No one has ever called the pint-sized 14-year-old Japanese snowboarding phenom chatty. "He doesn't talk in his own language either," said Teddy Koo, Hirano's friend, translator and fellow snowboarder on the Monster Energy team. "He lets his actions speak for him. He's more about expressing himself physically than verbally." The eighth-grader's actions in the halfpipe say plenty. At a mere 75 pounds, Japan's rising son of snowboarding has defied the little-guys-can't-fly stereotype by boosting huge air, reaching 18-plus feet above the halfpipe lip. His textbook-perfect pumping on the transitions has made him a prodigy, drawing comparisons to Shaun White, whose snowboarding dominance began at the same age. "I never thought it was going to happen," Hirano said, through Koo, of threatening the undisputed king of snowboarding's decade-long reign. "But now it's happening, and it's pretty fun." Under bluebird skies Saturday, Hirano's unflappable style was on stage at the Burton U.S. Open as he soared with poise, spun with mechanical technique and bullied White's once-untouchable supremacy. Still, it wasn't enough to match White's indomitable double-cork 1260s, and Hirano took silver behind White's gold. "I love watching him ride," White said. "It's a nice reminder about the sport to me ... because he's not the biggest guy out there, and I'm not the biggest. It doesn't really make a difference, the size. It's all your mind-set and how you use the terrain, and he's a great example of that." Hirano's silver at the U.S. Open earned him the halfpipe title of the World Snowboard Tour. Hirano unquestionably is building the new standard for the next generation of snowboarding — throwing three or even four smooth and efficient double-cork spins on every run and floating in seemingly slow motion above the pipe. Hello from Aspen. Hirano's sudden ascent to snowboarding's top tier was sparked at January's Winter X Games in Aspen, where the X rookie's back-to-back double-cork 1080s and authoritative airs led him to silver, again only one step behind White. Last month, Hirano won the European Open. "He stands on his snowboard well and has great edge control, a good line and really good timing on the lip of the halfpipe," said Ben Boyd, the snowboarding coach at Ski and Snowboard Club Vail, which is training a team of five Japanese snowboarders this season, including Hirano and his brother Eiju, 17. The crew is a jovial bunch, laughing and teasing one another while doing loads of snowboarding. They work with Boyd and revered coach Elijah Teter on the club's airbag and trampolines in Vail and ride Breckenridge from their group home in Frisco. Olympic rider Koehi Kudo said training with the Vail club has delivered "only positive things." "You are always having someone watch you while you are riding, and they point out the bad things and point out the good things and take video," Kudo said through a translator. "They just want you to become a better snowboarder." Hirano and his crew are following in the tracks of Kazu Kokobu, the legendary Japanese rider who has adopted Hirano as the young star most capable of toppling the American snowboarding dynasty. Kokobu, who won the U.S. Open in 2010, encouraged Hirano to train in Vail, leaving Japan, which has a dearth of Olympic-caliber halfpipes and terrain parks. Page 1 of 2

http://www.denverpost.com/extremes/ci_22706381/japanese-snowboarder-ayumu-hirano-is-poised-next-halfpipe Kokobu said Hirano's timing and pump in the transitions of the 22-foot superpipe enable the spring-thighed teen's unrivaled amplitude. "Your size doesn't always matter. He has perfect timing," Kokobu said. "Everyone rides the same now, and everyone has a chance to medal (at Sochi next year.) And yes, 'MuMu' has a really good chance to podium in Sochi." Ayumu and Eiju grew up in Murakami, a coastal village in Japan. Their father owned a skate shop, and the brothers grew up competing in vertical skateboarding contests. Like White and Switzerland's Iouri "iPod" Podladtchikov, the Hiranos are proving skateboard skills easily transfer to snowboards. "There are a lot of parts where vert skating and superpipe riding are very similar and they both go hand in hand with each other," Eiju said through a translator. "Especially on the takeoff," Ayumu said. "The takeoff for vert skating and snowboarding are very similar." Snowboarding royalty. The brothers never stop competing with each other, a familial matchup and rivalry that have established both riders among Japan's boarding royalty. "We are always riding together, so we always are pushing each other," Eiju said. "But I know I'm going to come out on top at the end of the day anyway, so it's all good." Ayumu hears his brother's boast and shrugs it off with a laugh. He simply doesn't care what people say about his riding. He's just out to fly. "I love big air," he said. Ayumu has been a pro since 2011, when he signed with drink maker Monster Energy at age 12. That year he appeared in his first stateside competition — the U.S. Open in Vermont — and dropped jaws poaching the pipe during the pro competition as a junior, throwing the loftiest tricks of the competition. The next year he won the Burton High Fives contest in New Zealand, and suddenly the world was eyeing the tiny teen as the next pipe potentate. Today Ayumu spends his winters in the U.S., training at Vail, riding Breckenridge and traveling the globe for competitions. When he returns home, he crams months of studies between his daily skate sessions. "My school is very supportive of my snowboarding, so they make it happen for me," he said. "My parents, too, are down with me snowboarding, and they are very supportive. It is what I do best." Jason Blevins: 303-954-1374, jblevins@denverpost.com or twitter.com/jasontblevins

Big Mountain Team goes bigger By Michael Suleiman SPECIAL TO THE DAILY

Ski & Snowboard Club Vail’s Big Mountain Team has been on a tear this season. Two weekends ago, they swept the podium at a national event in Taos, and this past weekend, they almost did it again in Crested Butte at a regional event. All of the athletes competing in the big mountain circuit are trying to establish enough points to be eligible for the IFSA championships in Revelstoke. For the nationals in Revelstoke, IFSA takes the skiers three best nationals results and two best regionals results to determine who will be able to compete. IFSA has had help this season with a new events tour company. The JETA tour, which stands for Junior Events Tour of the Americas, started last season and “began from demand for events catered toward junior big mountain skiers,” said JETA’s athlete and mountain relations manager Cat Iwanchuck. “In the first year, 2012, Colorado was shot for snow which led us to explore resorts outside of the Rocky Mountain region. Taos held the first JETA event, which allowed 83 athletes, ages 1218, to compete. These athletes originated from Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico.” This year’s event went smoothly and had the added bonus of incredible snow. “The extreme terrain, highly technical lines and multitude of rock features make Taos a great big mountain venue. We are excited to be back in Taos for 2013 and for many years to come,” said JETA’s tour director Nick Whittemore. At the two-day nationals event in Taos two weekends ago, huge well-skied runs from the Vail athletes were in abundance. “Everyone had a line choice that was unique to their ability, whether it was technical or fast, it catered to their style. Our skiers went into the competition with a strategy that suited their technique, which led the team to a successful outcome. Kevin had a fast, clean run with huge drops and a big 360 at the end of his run,” said SSCV big mountain coach Nick Courtens. In the 12-14 year old boys class, Kevin Nichols took the win with a clean and very aggressive line on the steep Taos course.

Kevin Nichols, center, from SSCV, stands on the first-place podium while Grifen Moller, left, of SSCV, stands on the second-place podium. Standing on the podium with Nichols was Grifen Moller in second, and Finn Andersson in third. This past weekend, the boys were on the podium again down at a regional event in Crested Butte. “We brought down nine athletes to the competition in Crested Butte, of which seven qualified for the finals. The conditions were a bit thin with a decent amount of rocks peppered around,” said SSCV’s head big mountain coach Garrett Scahill. In the large 12-14 category, Nichols placed first again. Following Nichols were his teammates Grifen Moller in second, Nathan cook in fourth and Owen Salamunovich in sixth. Ragan Anthony has been skiing well all season in the big mountain events and placed third in the 15-18 category. In the 15-18 male group, Erik Hilb placed seventh and Mathieu L’esperance placed ninth. “Erik Hilb had the highest score of the day leading into the finals. In the final event no one knew where they stood, they only knew that they had a good enough qualifying run to make the finals. That knowledge, or lack there of, led Hilb to an unfortunate crash,” Scahill said. “It was good to go down there and get these guys on the course. We have a national competition in Crested Butte next weekend which should be fun for these guys.”

SSCV wins big at Council Cup By Michael Suleiman SPECIAL TO THE DAILY

The last chance for a few of the local skiers to make the Junior Championships came this past weekend. The Council Cup race at Ski Cooper provided two Ski & Snowboard Club Vail U14 racers with the necessary points to qualify for next weekends big championship race in Winter Park. Not only was this race an opportunity for the U14 athletes, but it was also an opportunity for the U16 racers who will be competing at the championships in Beaver Creek this week. “This was the last chance to qualify for Junior Championships so everyone there was looking to do well. Two of SSCV’s U14 racers qualified for the championships and one of SSCV’s U16 athletes narrowly missed the one spot they had for the U16 championships,” said Nate Bryant, SSCV U14 coach. “There are six race runs over 3 days and they take the top three results and add those up. The U16 racers were racing for only one spot for both male and female at the championships, and the U14 racers were competing for three spots. It was interesting because one of the U16 racers technically tied for first but didn’t quite make it due to logistics and tie breaking rules.” The athletes who were already qualified for the championships did not compete in the Council Cup, which provided those that needed the spots an opportunity to excel. After three days of racing in slalom, giant slalom and super-g, the winners were announced. SSCV’s Burke Fancher took one of the three spots for the boys, and Anneli Holm took one of the spots for the girls. Day 1 of the super-g race had SSCV’s Katherine Harnick in second and Trinity Chelain in fourth for girl’s race one. The second race of the day had Holm in third

and Chelain in fourth. The boys skied equally as well with Billy Spanos in second, Tucker Strauch in fourth and Kendrick Kinsella in fifth in race one of the day. In the second race of the day, Kinsella placed third, Fancher placed fourth and Spanos placed fifth. The slalom course was set for Day 2 and more great results came from the SSCV crew. Holm won the first slalom race of the day by more than one second. Following Holm was Anna Scott in third, Katie Collins in fourth, Harnick in fifth. Race two had Holm in first, Katie Collins in fourth, and Anna Scott in fifth. The boys raced strong in the slalom event with a nice podium sweep in race one. Fancher finished first, in both races of the day, followed by Strauch in second and Dylan Stueber in third in race one. In the end, both of Fancher’s first place finishes in slalom gave him the necessary points to qualify for one of the three championship spots being dolled out. Going into the final day of races, the girls felt the pressure and knew it was going to be a close call between a few of the top contenders. The SSCV girls held in there for the giant slalom races on the final day. Naomi Harding skied well and placed fourth overall. Holm stayed consistent and placed fifth in race one of the day but stepped it up in race two, placing fourth. Race one of the boy’s giant slalom had Kinsella in third, and Spanos in fourth. In race two of the day Spanos skied well and placed third. Following Spanos was Kinsella in fourth, and Strauch in fifth. It was about as close of a race as it comes. The RMD director had to go to the rule book a number of times to read about tie breaking procedures. After a couple of hours of delegation, winners were announced and racers were qualified for next weekend’s big event.

LAST WORD IN ASTROLOGY

By Eugenia Last

DEAR ABBY

By Abigail Van Buren

ADOPTED CHILDREN ARE PRODUCT OF TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF LOVE DEAR ABBY: While cleaning out my attic yesterday, I found a letter that my daughter wrote to you a few years ago when she was 13. She was responding to a poem that had appeared in your column, "Legacy of an Adopted Child." She was going through a very trying time and was being bullied because she was adopted and looked very different from her parents. My daughter is grown now and is a delightful, successful young woman. That poem helped her greatly. Can you reprint it for others? -- PROUD MOM IN GREENVILLE, S.C. DEAR PROUD MOM: With pleasure. The poem is part of my "Keepers" booklet. LEGACY OF AN ADOPTED CHILD (Author Unknown) Once there were two women Who never knew each other. One you do not remember, The other you call mother. Two different lives Shaped to make yours one. One became your guiding star, The other became your sun. CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Shaquille O'Neal, 41; Connie Britton, 46; D.L. Hughley, 50; Rob Reiner, 66. Happy Birthday: Make improvements that will help you feel good as well as enhance what you have to offer. Embrace change and make it work for you instead of wasting time trying to hang on to something or someone that isn't meant to be. Forward motion will keep you in sync and lead to success. Love is on the rise. Your numbers are 4, 13, 25, 29, 31, 39, 41. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Research will pay off. Ease your stress by putting a plan into motion. Don't let your emotions lead you into a no-win situation with someone you work with. Rely on past experience to help you avoid making a mistake. 2 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Plan to excel. Interact with people that have something to contribute. The more information you obtain, the easier it will be secure your position or find a way to advance. A serious partnership will develop. 5 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make your own deals. You cannot

The first gave you life And the second taught you to live it. The first gave you a need for love And the second was there to give it. One gave you a nationality, The other gave you a name. One gave you a seed of talent, The other gave you an aim. One gave you emotions, The other calmed your fears. One saw your first sweet smile, The other dried your tears. One gave you up -It was all that she could do. The other prayed for a child And God led her straight to you. And now you ask me Through your tears, The age-old question Through the years: Heredity or environment Which are you the product of? Neither, my darling -- neither, Just two different kinds of love.

trust anyone to do what's best for you. Asking for a favor is likely to end up costing you. Keep your private life a secret. Sharing too much information with colleagues or peers will cause setbacks. 3 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): You have more clout than you realize. Call the shots and set the standard. Ask for what you want and offer what you feel is fair. Romance is on the rise and celebrating should be planned. Opportunities are apparent. 3 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take care of financial matters and fix up your place to suit your needs. Having the right equipment at your fingertips will make your life easier as well as help you avoid wasting time. A change of pace will encourage business. 3 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Enjoy friends and take part in activities that build your enthusiasm and make you think. Romance is heading your way, and decisions that influence your future are about to unfold. A promise made will help seal a deal. 5 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A change of heart is apparent, but

This poem is part of a collection of poems and essays that readers have repeatedly asked to be re-run because they hold special meaning for them. Some of the items had been saved and re-read so many times that they had fallen apart. Many readers suggested that the special column items be compiled into a booklet, and what resulted is "Keepers." It can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby Keepers Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. It's a quick and easy read for anyone who needs a lift, and is filled with down-to-earth nuggets of wisdom, both witty and philosophical. The "Keepers" touch on a variety of subjects and are a welcome gift for newlyweds, new parents, pet lovers or anyone recovering from an illness.

Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

don't let that affect the way you do your job. You'll realize you are further ahead than you think, and there is no need to jump into something prematurely. You need new surroundings. 2 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Get involved in something creative and challenging, and you will face a fascinating test of your ability. You will not only be pleased with your accomplishments, but you will impress someone and secure a position for future projects. 4 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take a back seat and gauge what everyone else does or says. You will get the best results by sticking close to home and making the most of your living space. Keep your thoughts about others to yourself. Avoid overindulgence. 3 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Reflect on past relationships and you will know exactly what to say to someone you love. A simple and affordable approach will bring the best results. Romance is in the stars and can be achieved on a budget. 3 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): What you do for others will in turn

allow you to do something that will make you happy as well. Favors will be repaid, enabling you to make a change that will allow you greater freedom to follow your goals. 3 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You'll have a choice. Wager the pros and cons and you'll find a way to get what you want without going overboard physically, financially or emotionally. Your talent and skill will help you win a spot in the limelight. 4 stars Birthday Baby: You are sensitive, impulsive and dedicated. You are clever and entertaining.

SSCV’s Nordic wins Colorado Cup Next stop: Alaska Daily staff report

NEWSROOM@VAILDAILY.COM

DURANGO — The good news is that they don’t have to ski with it in the future. After all, it’s a pretty big cup and it would likely slow them down. The Ski & Snowboard Club Vail Nordic team is now the proud owner of the Colorado Cup, given to the top junior team in the state, after last weekend’s fourth and final junior national qualifier last weekend down in Durango. Not only did SSCV win the Colorado Cup for the first time in the program’s history, but it will be sending athletes to junior nationals in Alaska at the end of the month. Saturday was the freestyle sprint and Ian Boucher proved to be the fastest in the Open Junior (OJ) and J1 class. Boucher had a tremendous race and sprinted his way to a first-place finish. Cal Deline placed second just behind Boucher. In fourth place was SSCV’s Christian Shanley. Cully Brown, from SSCV, had a solid race and skied to a seventh-place finish. In the women’s OJ and J1 class there were a few notable performances from the SSCV racers. Hannah Hardenbergh placed fifth followed by her teammates Clare Baker in seventh and Katie Scruggs in eighth. Cameron Moore was the only J2 male from SSCV racing in the event and finished fourth. The boys in the J3 class cleaned up again with Christian Wilson in

The two SSCV boys in the J4 class also had a great day of racing with Ian Hardenbergh in second and Andrew Rogers in third. Katy Hardenbergh kept results similar to that of her brother by also placing second in the girl’s J5-J6 class. Sunday was a classic mass start. The OJs, J1s and J2s all raced a 5K race with the J3s and J4s racing a 3K race followed by the J5-J6 class racing a 1.5K course. More SSCV top-10s came out of the classic

mass start for the male OJ-J1 class with Deline finishing in third, Shanley finishing in fifth, Brown finishing in sixth, Boucher finishing in seventh and McDonald rounding it out in 10th. In the women’s OJ-J1 category were the Vail Mountain School girls with Hannah Hardenbergh in third, Scruggs in fifth and Baker in ninth. Annie Blakslee raced well in the J2 class finishing in seventh. The young J3 boys showed that they are a force with which to be reckoned.

Herzog won the race by one second. Following Herzog, a mere second behind, was SSCV’s Wilson in second. Scruggs skied well in the J3 class finishing sixth overall. Gracie Shanley had a great race on Sunday finishing in fifth place overall in the girls J3 class. Hardenbergh skied well in the boy’s J4 category placing third overall. Rogers had a great second day of Nordic skiing and finished in sixth overall. Wilson and Rogers raced neckand-neck in the boy’s J5-J6 class with Wilson coming out in ninth

Christian Shanley, Max Scrimgeour, Cal Deline, Cully Brown, Ian Boucher, Parker McDonald, Cameron Moore, Hannah Hardenbergh, Clare Baker, Katie Scruggs and Annie Blakslee make up the local Nordic team headed to Alaska to compete in the national championships at the end of March.

VOSS-MYRKDALEN, Norway — In just his second race back from a shoulder injury, Canada’s Chris Del Bosco took sixth at the World Freestyle Ski Championships ski cross Sunday. Del Bosco, who has dual citizenship and grew up in Eagle-Vail, was attempting to defend the world title he captured in Deer Valley, Utah, in 2011, despite a shortened season. After injuring his shoulder in training last fall, Del Bosco returned to the tour last month and finished second in a World Cup in Sochi,

For Nguyen, the trip was much further. The 15-year-old came out with his family from Buck Hill, Minn., taking sixth overall and advancing to finals. “It was fun being out here,� he said. “And really fun being back on the podium. It had been a while.� Nguyen won the slalom on Saturday, a performance that also earned him a new pair of skis for the “bibbo� award, given to the athlete who made the biggest jump on the leaderboard throughout the course of the week. On the women’s side, the bibbo was awarded to Kristina Steinberg, from Steamboat. Other fun designations were awarded at a ceremony following the event, including the “crash of the week,� which was given to Courtney Palm, of

the St. Louis-area Hidden Valley Ski Team. She was awarded a Slytech back protector. Tyler Winberg from, Team Duluth, stayed home from the athlete social with Will Lamb who was sick with the flu, earning Winberg a nomination for the sportsmanship award. But it couldn’t top Jack Plantz, of Telluride, who disqualified himself from the slalom after seeing he had unfairly advanced to the second run. “[Plantz] had a good first run, he made the flip and was on the second run start list,� said Kim McGrew, of the junior championships organizing committee. “But he decided to go to the technical delegates and disqualify himself because he knew that he had straddled a gate that had been missed by the gate judge.� Galena Wardell, of Aspen, and Jett Seymour, from Steamboat Springs, each won a 10-pound bar of chocolate

for being the best racers under 115 pounds. The chocolate bar was awarded to them in an effort “to assist with their weight-gaining goals,� said John Cole, an announcer. In a speech at the Junior Championships’ conclusion, four-time Olympian Sarah Schleper stressed that while Wardell, Seymour and the rest of the athletes had physical goals they would have to meet to be champions, their thoughts will account for the most difference in the end. “A dream is just a big thought, and when we find the source of our thoughts we find the source of our success,� Schleper said to an audience of hundreds. “I encourage all of us, parents and coaches to dream big thoughts. But especially the ones competing here at the Junior Championships, because at your age, you have the body, and the time, to make your dreams grow big.�

2nd Annual Vail Jazz Winter Series

By John LaConte

The Rocky/Central U16 Junior Championships wrapped up this weekend in Beaver Creek, an event that brought hundreds to the valley to watch the best 14-15-year-old ski racers from the Colorado and the Midwest regions of the U.S. The alpine athletes raced in all four disciplines of the sport throughout nearly a week of competition, with 10 young men and 10 young women earning spots to compete in the U16 National Championships in Park City from March 31 through April 5. “Awesome racing all week, absolutely incredible,” said Brewster McVicker, USSA alpine manager for the Central Division. “We’ve got some outstanding athletes that are going to be representing the Rocky/Central Division ... I feel lucky to be here in this environment with these athletes, with these coaches and with this family that we have here.” Of the roughly 90 male competitors, Tristan Lane, Louis Nguyen, Adam Freeman, River Radamus, Sky Kelsey, Zach Monsen, Logan Martin, Quintin Cook, Luke Prosence and Paul Cuthbertson earned invites. On the women’s side, Storm Klomhaus, Abigail Murer, Heidi Livran, Megan McGrew, Clara Hathorne, Rosie Hust, Rachael Desrochers, Sasha Horn, Camilla Trapness and Madeleine Dekko earned invites. Longtime Vail residents Jay and Susi Livran were pleased to see their daughter Heidi, an athlete with Ski and Snowboard Club Vail, make the cut. Jay grew up in the Vail Valley and also raced with SSCV. Susi has coached at the club and said it was nice having the important juniors event on their “home turf” at Beaver Creek. “Heidi grew up skiing in the Devo program at Beaver Creek, so she was skiing Beaver Creek even before Vail,” she said. “I think it

Eagle-Vail teen sensation Mikaela Shiffrin rules in World Cup slalom By John Meyer The Denver Post The Denver Post Posted:

DenverPost.com

When she was 10, Mikaela Shiffrin asked her father how soon she could race on the World Cup tour. Jeff Shiffrin, an anesthesiologist who approaches work and parenting with a scientific mind, came back with facts and figures that only made his precocious daughter more impatient. "I was like, 'OK, Dad, I get it, but I just wanted an age. When is the soonest that I would theoretically be able to ski World Cup?' " Mikaela recalled recently. "I've always wanted to do things as fast as possible." The phenom from Eagle-Vail, who turned 18 on Wednesday, is doing just that. At the World Cup finals Saturday, she become the youngest slalom season champion since 1974. Shiffrin made her first World Cup start at age 15, scored her first World Cup podium at age 16 and won her first World Cup race last December at age 17. Last month, she became the fourth-youngest woman to win a gold medal in slalom at the world championships. To watch her race is to see an athlete in love with her sport, enthralled with the sensations that come from carving perfect turns. "It's my art," Shiffrin said. "It's like a puzzle or a painting or music. When I ski, it's like a song. I can hear the rhythm in my head, and when I start to ski that rhythm and I start to really link my turns together, all of a sudden there's so much flow and power that I just can't help but feel amazing. That's where the joy comes from." Less than a year out from the Sochi Olympics, Shiffrin has emerged as the next skiing sensation. She will be on "Late Night with David Letterman" on Tuesday, and media exposure will only increase in the buildup to Sochi. "A lot of people describe the Olympics as like this big black cloud that's coming that's going to ruin my career because there's so much pressure and so much anxiety," Shiffrin said. "I'm not thinking about it as a big scary thing. I'm going to go into it guns blazing, hoping I'm going to take every bit of fun out of it that I can, no matter how stressful and chaotic it is." Fascinated by theories Ski racing fans wonder how Shiffrin can be so good so young. But the way "Team Shiffrin" sees it, perhaps the question should be reversed. Why haven't more young racers achieved what she has? "It may seem like, 'Oh, my God, you're only 17 and everybody else needs to be 24 before they achieve,' " Jeff Shiffrin said. "I would argue a lot of them wasted a lot of those years." Jeff Shiffrin works at the University of Colorado Hospital, where he is on the teaching faculty. He thinks of himself as the "systems analyst" of the family and his wife, Eileen, as the "application specialist." Dad studied the physics of skiing and the science of success while Mom, an excellent masters racer, worked with Mikaela and her older brother, Taylor, when they were learning to ski. It was never just a matter of technique. Jeff is fascinated by theories of how to promote "mastery," stemming from an article he read in Scientific American in the mid-1980s about grandmasters in chess. That, and other books on the topic, helped him formulate the way he guided his children to success in ski racing. "It takes 1,000 hours, give or take — depending on who your mentor is, how willing you are to focus on the effort — to go from incompetent to competent in anything, from speaking a language to being able to make an arc turn on skis," Jeff Shiffrin said. "It takes 5,000 hours of dedicated, 'I'm not good enough, I want to improve' training to get to masterful at it. And it takes 10,000 to 20,000 hours to get to best in world — grandmaster, Olympic gold medal." So, early on, Mikaela raced much less than other kids her age. They'd go to races where they would get in a couple Page 1 of 3

17/03/2013 10:14 AM

http://www.denverpost.com/sports/ci_22808231/eagle-vail-teen-sensation-mikaela-shiffrin-rules-world of runs, maybe two minutes of actual skiing time. While the other young skiers were racing, Mikaela would be at home building up "mileage," training intensely with coach Kirk Dwyer at Burke Mountain Academy in Vermont to "master" her sport. "It was kind of like I dropped off the map for a month and I would just train," Mikaela said. "I would do free skiing, I would do drills and I would train with Kirk, just work on everything: work on technique, work on tactics, work on the mental game. That was part of a plot, I guess." But when she raced, she made it count. In 2010, she won gold medals against international youth fields at the prestigious Trofeo Topolino in Italy and and the Whistler Cup in British Columbia. "She always skied a higher volume and raced less," Dwyer said. "When she was 14 and she won Topolino and Whistler Cup, she only competed in 11 races that year. If you're skiing the same or more days than your peers, and you're racing less, you're training more. That has an impact on that year, but it's going to have a more profound impact on subsequent years because you have much more of a foundation." If she was being groomed for success, Mikaela thought some of her competitors were setting themselves up to fail. "I would find in races when I was a J3 (ages 8-14), all of my friends would just count me out," Mikaela said. "If I won a race, they were like, 'Well, Mikaela won, but really the second-place girl won because Mikaela doesn't count.' I was thinking, 'Well, that's not going to help you very much.' That's the mentality difference." In 2011, she took a bronze medal at the world junior championships, got her first two World Cup starts and won the U.S. slalom title. Since then she has competed on the World Cup circuit full time, mostly in Europe, always with her mother nearby. From a historical perspective, she is well ahead of where Team USA teammates Lindsey Vonn and Julia Mancuso — both of whom are Olympic gold medalists — were when they were her age. U.S. Ski Team women's technical coach Roland Pfeifer doesn't like to hear people focus only on Shiffrin's talent, as if she's just a naturally gifted athlete. Shiffrin, he insists, works harder and is more focused than other racers her age. "They're as gifted and as talented as Mikaela, but they just don't know how to get everything out of this talent," said Pfeifer, who is Austrian. "They have different thinking at the weekends. They think once they've won a little bit, a couple of races, they jump off the path. Mikaela is looking for the best, to really peak all the way up. "When she won her first Nor Am race two years ago, she told her mom, 'I want to win, within a year or two, a World Cup race.' It's crazy that she came up with that, and we coaches, when she says something like that we think, 'Mikaela, do you know what it takes?' But she does it! It's unbelievable." Constructive criticism Shiffrin skis with technique that delights students of the sport. Her upper body stays relatively motionless while her lower body pivots to-and-fro around gates, creating sharp angles that allow her to carve beautiful turns. She makes it look effortless. "I like to see her feet just moving so quickly, and her upper body just charging down the hill," said Heidi Livran, 16, who races for Ski & Snowboard Club Vail. "Her feet move really, really fast from gate to gate and her upper body is still. It's the fastest way down." Shiffrin said she developed a "quiet" upper body from skiing through the trees in Vail when she was little. The rest comes from the coaching she got from Dwyer when the family moved to New Hampshire in 2003. They moved back to the Vail Valley in 2008 when it became clear she had a big future in the sport. Mikaela and her brother initially got into ski racing to make new friends after the move to New Hampshire, but Page 2 of 3

17/03/2013 10:14 AM

http://www.denverpost.com/sports/ci_22808231/eagle-vail-teen-sensation-mikaela-shiffrin-rules-world Mikaela always wanted to see how she could improve. "A lot of kids don't," Eileen said. "They don't want to hear the criticism, they don't want to hear what they could do better, they're sick of it, they don't want to improve. But Mikaela always came down at the end of the run and went up to Kirk. And later she'd say: 'I didn't want to hear how great my run was. I wanted to hear him tell me what I needed to do when I went back up to do it better.' " The Shiffrin parents have heard chatter that they pushed their kids too hard. Mikaela wishes those people could see the smile on her face when she races. "I do this because I love it," Mikaela said. "I get this adrenaline rush from just going down the course and feeling like I made a really great turn and I'm going to do it again and again and again. That feeling can't be replaced, and that's the feeling I'm striving to get every time I go out there. My parents and Kirk know me, they know how much I love to improve and how much I love to feel like I'm not complacent, I'm actually going somewhere. They've just helped nurture that, and that's really helped me get to where I am today." The goal is to ski as well as possible, and let the results take care of themselves. "You can't ever make the perfect run, but you can make the best run, and then you clock the fastest time and that's a win," Shiffrin said. "But if you strive toward the perfect run, accepting that you will always come up short of that is very intriguing. It makes me think about how in life in general, we always want to strive toward perfection but sometimes perfection would be the worst thing. "It's actually pretty nice that we can't actually achieve it. I think if I were to ever have a perfect run, I would quit, because that's that. There goes the joy."

Team SSCV repeats at Conway Cup American Ski Classic begins Daily staff report

NEWSROOM@VAILDAILY.COM

VAIL — Just a stone’s throw away from its headquarters east of Golden Peak, the team representing Ski & Snowboard Club Vail climbed to the top step of the podium once again Wednesday as the four-member team took top honors in the Fourth annual Conway Cup community team race, presented by Korbel. The team, comprised of former U.S. Ski Team member and coach Dan Stripp, Scott Houser, Natalie Biedermann and Euginnia Manseau, shifted into overdrive in the Conway Cup finals, outpointing the three other teams in the dual format. Houser serves as U14 assistant coach for SSCV, while Biedermann is U16 women’s assistant coach. Manseau is event manager for the club. “We had another wonderful day of racing in the Conway Cup, presented by Korbel,” said Ceil Folz, president of the Vail Valley Foundation. “We are extremely appreciative of Korbel’s desire to have a community race component for the Korbel American Ski Classic and it’s exciting to see the team from Ski & Snowboard Club Vail again in the Korbel Ford Cup competition later this week. This race is a wonderful way to annually celebrate Dan within an event that he loved.” By virtue of its win, the team earned a spot in the Korbel Ford Cup celebrity team race on Friday and Saturday in conjunction with

Ski & Snowboard Club Vail celebrates its repeat win at the Conway Cup on Wednesday in Vail. the 2013 Korbel American Ski Classic. En route to the win, Team SSCV bested the silver medal team from Village Wine Warehouse, while Team Edwards Excavating took home the bronze with a consolation win over Team

Shakedown. Team Village Wine Warehouse was comprised of Pete Cuccia, Gerard Heid, Brett Snyder and Dan Nixon, while Edwards Excavating included Ted Johnson, Jed Schuetze, Mitch Sturde and

Wayne Miller. The Conway Cup is named and run in memory of Dan Conway, a friend to ski racing at all levels throughout the Vail Valley who passed away in May 2009. Through his position as director of

racing for Vail and Vail Resorts, he played a key role in all competitions held on Vail and Beaver Creek mountains, from World Cup and World Championships to NASTAR, including the annual Korbel American Ski Classic.

Oscar Wilde once said, “Youth is wasted on the young.” Trying something new at an old age is a daunting task for some, especially when that new activity is competitive alpine racing. But for 79-year-old Charlie Hauser it’s just another day on the hill. Hauser is a national masters alpine winner but did not grow up ski racing. Another passionate alpine skier is Jim Glendining. Glendining is the owner of The George Bar and Restaurant. When he isn’t talking it up with visitors of the George, you can find Glendining out racing in Town Races, or forerunning for major alpine events. The passion and determination for alpine racing led these two, as well as others, to the Masters Program at Ski & Snowboard Club Vail. The Masters Program was created in 1978 by Bob Seeman and has seen repeat participants ever since. “Back when the Masters Program first started we had a group of 60- or 70-year olds who were mostly airplane pilots. At the time, we called them the jerk squad,” Seeman said. “It was such a blast to rip around with those old guys. You would watch them ski down the mountain with big grins and it

Masters skier Jim Glendining, of the Ski & Snowboard Club Vail Masters Program, shows that ski racing is not just for the chronologically-young. was like they were kids again.” The Vail Summit Orthopaedics Town Series has helped the continued success of the program with racers like Glendining

coming on board. “I grew up freestyle skiing, but when mogul mania died out, I wanted to continue skiing at a competitive level. I just love

racing. With racing, it is easy to tell when you are getting better because of the time aspect,” Glendining said. “The training out here is crazy good. Last year, I had one lane and in the other lanes there was (Ted) Ligety, (Bode) Miller and (Aksel Lund) Svindal. It’s a blast and I just love being out on the hill.” In many ways it’s easier coaching a group of adults who hang on every word a coach says and are looking to improve. Lad Lavitka is the current coach for the Masters Program and has the racing background to back up his coaching abilities. Lavitka grew up racing in the Peuget Grand Prix events among others and is a passionate alpine skier. “We have a good range of skiers in the Masters Program. Some of the athletes compete in the USSA Masters level competitions. Charlie Hauser goes to all the races and he is the reigning national champion in division 10. He has only been racing for the past seven years or so. This year, the USSA Nationals are in Big Sky, Montana,” Lavitka said. The national competition is running all week. The Masters Program trains on Golden Peak in the afternoons every Monday and Wednesday during the season.

Hornets snap Nuggets’ 15-game win streak By Guerry Smith ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW ORLEANS — Ryan Anderson scored 23 points, Brian Roberts doubled his career high with 18 assists and the short-handed New Orleans Hornets beat Denver 110-86 on Monday night, ending the Nuggets’ 15-game win streak. New Orleans, playing without its starting backcourt of Eric Gordon and Greivis Vasquez, won its third in a row and was in control all the way. The Hornets led by nine at the end of the first quarter, by 21 at the half and by 18 entering the fourth. Roberts, a rookie making his second start, had 11 assists by halftime, two more than his previous best. Anderson was 5 of 11 on 3pointers, and the Hornets sank 14of-25 3s as seven players scored in double figures. Danilo Gallinari had 24 points for the Nuggets, who were without starting point guard Ty Lawson (right heel injury) for the third consecutive game. Denver lost for the first time since Feb. 22 against Washington after matching its 1969-70 ABA team’s record of 15 straight victories.

The Hornets answered every Nuggets run, the last of which closed the gap to 96-84 when Kenneth Faried hit a tough bank shot and was fouled with 6:07 left. New Orleans’ Anthony Davis followed with two free throws, Darius Miller drained a face-up 3-pointer and Davis leaped high to jam in a rebound follow, extending the lead to 103-84. The closest Denver came in the second half was 67-58 after a 16-4 spurt midway through the third quarter. But the Hornets’ Roger Mason Jr. immediately hit back-toback 3-pointers, and New Orleans was up by double digits the rest of the way. This one was never close. The Hornets went ahead 25-11 in the first quarter, getting back-toback, wide-open 3-pointers from Anderson to cap the early run against the sluggish Nuggets. No one picked up Anderson, who led the NBA in 3-point baskets last season, when he shot from straightaway on the first one. Denver left him unguarded again as he made another 3 the next time down the court. Denver never cut the deficit to fewer than eight points for the rest

New Orleans Hornets guard Brian Roberts, left, gets fouled by Denver Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried in the first half of the game in New Orleans on Monday. The Hornets won, 110-86. of the half, and Anderson responded to that mild run with another uncontested 3. The Hornets responded to every Nuggets’ challenge early. Right after Andre Iguodala slammed home an alley-oop, Al-Farouq

Aminu dunked at the other end. When Gallinari sank his first 3pointer, Anderson immediately hit his fourth 3. New Orleans then stretched its lead to 59-38 with an 11-1 run to end the half. Denver’s point total

was only two more than its season low for the first half. New Orleans scored 16 points off 10 Denver turnovers in the first half, while the Nuggets managed only three points off seven Hornets miscues.

SSCV cleans up in Steamboat Daily staff report

NEWSROOM@VAILDAILY.COM

VAIL — The ceaseless reign of dominance from a local group of young racers continued this past weekend at the Smartwool Championships in Steamboat. Ski & Snowboard Club Vail’s U14 and U16 team has been on a tear this season with numerous podium finishes in nearly every event. Since the USSA Championships are now wrapped up, the Smartwool Championships provided a few younger U14 racers with the opportunity to run with the big dogs, and run they did. “This was the first time this year the U14s were able to race against the older RMD athletes, and they showed poise and control racing against the best U16, U18 and U21s in RMD,” said Ski & Snowboard Club Vail’s U14 coach Brett Borgard. Friday kicked off with the giant slalom races. Former SSCV athlete River Radamus claimed the win in the first event of the championships. U14 racer Colby Lange crushed the competition, winning his age class and placing fifth overall. Lange was in fact the only U14 racer to place in the top 10 during the giant slalom race. Following Lange was SSCV’s Sands Simonton in sixth and Logan Martin in ninth. On the ladies’ side, Rachael Desrochers placed second overall, winning her U16 age division. Following Desrochers was Skylar Chaney in fourth and Sasha Horn in seventh. Saturday’s slalom went incredibly well for the local SSCV skiers with a U16 podium sweep. Jack Keane took second place overall

TED VICKERMAN | Special to the Daily

Sands Simonton placed second in Sunday’s parallel slalom, followed by Luke Vickerman in third. and first for the U16 boys. In fourth overall, and second for the U16 boys, was Paul Cuthbertson. Following Cuthbertson was Quintin Cook in fifth overall, third for the U16 boys, and Simonton in sixth. Rounding out the 10 ten was Colbey Derwin in 10th. The girls had solid results in the slalom race as well. Desrochers placed first for the U16 girls and third overall. Heidi Livran had a great race placing seventh with Camilla Trapness close behind in ninth. The parallel slalom event wrapped up the third and final day for the SSCV crew. Simonton placed second in Sunday’s parallel slalom, followed by Luke Vickerman in third. On the girls’ side, Desrochers and Livran skied well yet again with Desrochers in second and Livran in third. That’s a wrap for the USSA Smartwool Series, but in order to stay on top and progress, many of these athletes will continue training and competing until the middle of April and even through the summer.

Metabolic Syndrome: Should you be worried? By The Doctors Large waist, high blood pressure, excess blood sugar, high levels of the blood fat triglycerides or low counts of good HDL cholesterol: Any one of these can harm your health. But when three or more occur together, it gets a new name: metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that raise the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. But lifestyle changes can delay or prevent serious health problems. Science-backed strategies include not smoking and taking these three additional steps: Walk (fast). How hard you exercise, not how long, matters more, a study of 10,000 adults in Denmark suggests. Researchers found fast walking and jogging every day can cut the risk of heart disease and stroke by up to 50 percent, but walking an hour a day makes little difference. Another study found that people who lift weights are less prone to metabolic syndrome. Before starting new exercise, talk with your doctor. Eat fruits and vegetables. Peaches, plums and nectarines, in particular, have compounds that may fight metabolic syndrome, a study suggests. Other tips: Include lean meats and fish, fat-free or low-fat dairy, whole grains and beans; and limit salt, sugar and saturated fats. Get your BMI under 25. Body mass index, which is calculated from height and weight, is an estimate of body fat. A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered normal, and it’s the goal

range to prevent and manage metabolic syndrome. Losing as little as 5 to 10 percent of your body weight helps insulin and blood pressure and can lessen the risk of diabetes. Quit smoking. Not only does it worsen the health consequences of metabolic syndrome, but smoking harms every organ in your body and raises your risk of cancer, heart, lung and respiratory disease. For help, visit smokefree.gov or call 1-800QUIT-NOW.

Battle Mountain defeats Steamboat in girls lacrosse By Luke Graham

STEAMBOAT PILOT AND TODAY

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — The Steamboat Springs High School girls lacrosse team struggled Wednesday against rival Battle Mountain, falling, 14-3. The Sailors, winners of two of their past four, struggled from the onset Wednesday, allowing the Huskies to do whatever they wanted. Battle Mountain took a 5-0 early lead before Steamboat’s Aleigh Aurin added two late first-half goals to cut the lead to 5-2. “We got outplayed and outcoached today,” Steamboat coach Betsy Frick said. “That should have been a closer game. We weren’t using our heads.”

Steamboat struggled to contain Battle Mountain’s Maddi Conlin, Clare Baker and Mabry Gentry. The trio was able to get easy looks in Steamboat’s defensive zone all day. The three accounted for 13 of Battle Mountain’s goals Wednesday. Battle Mountain was just as good defensively, and when it wasn’t, goaltender Sienna Miller was there. Miller stopped 12 of 15 shots she faced in net. “It was low energy, and we weren’t playing sound,” Steamboat senior Emily Spiess said. “That, and they played a really good game.” The win improves Battle Mountain to 2-4 overall and drops Steamboat to 2-4. Steamboat plays 3:30 p.m. Saturday at home against Eagle Valley.

VALMENCO, Italy — From podium results at NorAm competitions, to narrowly missing a World Cup start earlier this season, Ski & Snowboard Club Vail’s 15-year-old Kaitlyn Harrell has taken the freestyle scene by storm. After this past week at Junior World Championships in Valmenco, Italy, it is clear that the young star isn’t going anywhere but up. During the qualifications, as well as semi-finals, Harrell had the highest turn marks and the fastest times. “The foggy and icy weather during the finals slightly hampered the athletes, but in the end Kaitlyn pushed through and skied a great run,” said Ski Club Vail’s freestyle program director John Dowling. After delays due to poor visibility, Harrell stood on top of the mogul course, hardly able to see the bottom, then skied to a third place finish. The young skier recently moved out west to train and compete in a more suitable environment for her skill set. Earlier this season Dowling mentioned the future opportunities she could do well with, which at the time may have been an understatement. Hunter Bailey was the other Ski & Snowboard Club individual who was chosen by FIS for the Junior World Championships. Bailey skied clean runs during the major international competition and placed 21st overall. Bailey set out the goal earlier this season to do well in a few of the Rocky Mountain Division competitions. Undoubtedly, he achieved his goals this season and then some. With just a few small local competitions left, it probably feels like a nice reprieve for these athletes to wind down their season and set new goals for the years to come. Without a doubt these are two freestyle athletes who could one day become Olympians. Michael Suleiman is the marketing and communications manager for Ski & Snowboard Club Vail.

Community celebrates World Cup champions Vonn, Shiffrin By John LaConte

DAILY CORRESPONDENT

VAIL — In a ski town, it’s quite an honor to have a World Cup globe brought home at the end of the season by a local athlete. This season in Vail, we have two. Lindsey Vonn and Mikaela Shiffrin brought their crystal trophies to Village Plaza in Vail on Friday evening in a welcome-home ceremony honoring the two. Vonn — who won the World Cup alpine downhill title despite missing several races due to injury — and Shiffrin, winner of the slalom title at only 18 years of age, both call Vail home. “It would be unique for a community to have one World Championship athlete, and in this case, we have two,” Vail Mayor Andy Daly said at the event. “Mikaela, this is a new burden you probably didn’t even realize you had, with all these young people looking at you as they’ve looked at Lindsey for the last few years.” The crowd for this year’s homecoming looked similar to the homecomings of years past — 1,000 or more fans, many kids, many in ski boots, holding up signs and taking pictures. In those celebrations, Vonn was honored by herself. When host Chad Fleischer asked Vonn what she thinks about returning home to Vail, Vonn said it was that very celebration. “I look forward to the Vail homecoming every year,” she said. Shiffrin, celebrating her first Vail homecoming celebration alongside Vonn, also saluted the town and the event. “I have a great support system

... all of you guys out here,” she said to the crowd following a question from Fleischer about her season.

Personal questions

But Fleischer wasn’t the only one interviewing Vonn and Shiffrin on stage — a selection of kids had pre-prepared video questions which were broadcast on stage for the athletes. Nine-year-old Emma Kay Burns, of Ski & Snowboard Club Vail, asked Shiffrin how old she was when she started to realize a successful ski career was a real possibility. “Part of me always knew, but didn’t know until last year,” Shiffrin said. Vonn was posed the same question, to which she replied that she really didn’t comprehend that possibility until making the Olypmic Team at the age of 17. And then the questions became pointed. An unnamed young girl who couldn’t be older than 6 asked Vonn and Shiffrin if they will ever be able to compete against the boys. “It’s a little bit political. The boys unfortunately don’t want to get beat by the girls,” Vonn said. “But I’m working on it.” Earlier this season, Vonn made a push to compete against the men in downhill, a request that was denied. An Avon Elementary School student named Freddie asked the pair what they do in their free time. After some goading from the audience, where the words “Tiger Woods” were clearly audible, Vonn gave the crowd what they were looking for. “OK, guys, I play golf,” she said.

Mountain Plaza was filled with crowds of people who came out to see the “Celebration of Champions” honoring Lindsey Vonn and Mikaela Shiffrin for their World Cup titles in downhill and slalom, respectively, Friday in Vail. On stage, from left, are former U.S. Ski Team member Chad Fleischer, Vail Mayor Andy Daly, Shiffrin, Vail Resorts executive John Garnsey, Vonn and former U.S. Ski Team member Kristina Koznick.

2015 looming

World Cup ski racer Mikaela Shiffrin smiles as she is welcomed on stage by hundreds of people during the “Celebration of Champions” on Friday in Vail.

With this being a World Championship season (every other year in ski racing), the thought of the next World Championships, which will be held here in the Vail Valley, loomed large. “We can’t wait to have you come back to Vail to your home turf in the 2015 World Ski Championships,” said John Garnsey, of Vail Resorts. Shiffrin said coming into the sport at this time, with two World Championships, one at home, and an Olympics upcoming, is about as exciting as it gets for a ski racer. “I’ve always thought it would be great to be able to race in the middle of the season at home, and in 2015, I’m going to be,” Shiffrin said.

VAIL — Ski & Snowboard Club Vail’s Broby Leeds has been leading the way in halfpipe competitions all season long. From wins in Rev tour events, USSA and USASA events, Leeds has been on fire this season. This past week, he packed up his skis and headed to Valmalenco, Italy, to compete in the Junior World Championships. At the event, he skied incredibly well against some of the best competition in the world and came away with a second-place finish. The Junior World Championships is the equivalent of Junior Olympics on a world scale. The best of the best 18 and under skiers flew to the event to compete in moguls, halfpipe, skier cross, and aerials. It was Ski & Snowboard Club Vail’s Kaitlyn Harrell who led the way during the mogul portion of the competition, placing third in Wednesday’s competition. The following day, Leeds skied well winning the qualification round, and placing second in the finals of the halfpipe event. Ski & Snowboard Club Vail’s John Leonard also came out with an incredible finish at the event placing third in the qualification round and fourth in the finals. Leeds placed first for the U.S. team and Leonard placed second. Gurimu Narita from Japan won the event with a run full of amplitude and a few double flips. “The conditions were snowy, which made it difficult for everyone to get amplitude,” said SSCV’s freeskiing program director Elana Chase. “Broby put together a smooth and clean run where he scored higher in the finals than he did in qualifications, but Japanese skier Gurimu came from behind for the win with an impressive run. I’m proud of these guys for coming to the other side of the world and doing so well.” Amazingly, Narita has only been skiing for the past three months, but with a background in gymnastics, he has easily been able to transfer over his abilities. As halfpipe skiing continues to grow, more and more athletes are looking towards the Olympics. It will take a lot of work for these rising athletes to get to the Olympics, but the first step is getting noticed in events like these.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A deal to loan Mark Martin to Joe Gibbs Racing as a replacement driver for injured Denny Hamlin fell apart Friday, when Michael Waltrip Racing said Martin will fulfill his commitment to its team. When the dust settled for both teams, Brian Vickers wound up as Hamlin’s replacement driver for at least four races. He was already scheduled to drive Martin’s car for MWR at Martinsville next week and will keep that commitment, with Martin driving Hamlin’s car. Then Martin will go back to MWR, and Vickers will drive Hamlin’s car until he’s medically cleared to return from a fractured vertebra in his lower back. The about-face came down from MWR roughly 24 hours after JGR said Martin will take over the No. 11 Toyota until Hamlin returns. He’s out at least five races. “We were a bit premature in determining Mark’s status past Martinsville,” J.D. Gibbs, president of Joe Gibbs Racing, said in a Friday night statement. MWR said Martin will return to his regular car after Martinsville and “resume his previously scheduled run of events with MWR” for the rest of the season. “I think it is great that a driver of Mark’s caliber is available to support our fellow Toyota team during this difficult time for them. We wish Denny a speedy recovery,” said MWR founder and co-owner Michael Waltrip. “Mark is a big part of our organization and is committed to our sponsors, especially Aaron’s and Toyota. We have a lot of goals yet to reach this year and we are very focused on accomplishing them.”

Posey gets $167 million, 9-year deal from Giants NL MVP’s contract is largest in Giants history

5194 Main Gore Dr. S., EAST VAIL

SAN FRANCISCO — At age 26, Buster Posey can envision one day retiring with the San Francisco Giants. For now, he is their new franchise man. The Giants rewarded the NL MVP and batting champion catcher with a $167 million, nine-year contract Friday, a deal that includes a club option for 2022 that could raise the value to $186 million over a decade. “It’s hard to put into BUSTER words what I feel right POSEY now, just an incredible feeling know that for the next nine years I’ll be a part of this very storied franchise,” Posey said. “I’m incredibly humbled to know I’ll be a part of that.” Posey had been due to make $8 million this year. He instead gets a $7 million signing bonus, with $5 million payable Oct. 15 and the remainder Jan. 15, and his 2013 salary is reduced to $3 million. He will make $10.5 million in 2014, $16.5 million in 2015, $20 million in 2016 and $21.4 million in each of the following five seasons. The Giants’ option is for $22 million with a $3 million buyout. “Obviously this is a big day for the Giants and a big day in Giants history,” CEO Larry Baer said. “By any measure the largest and boldest commitment we’ve ever made to a

player, and obviously that’s a big deal. We don’t make these kinds of commitments lightly. ... In order to make a commitment like this we have to look at other measures, too, and look at the person. A nine-year commitment sounds like a lot but it wasn’t scary to us when you look at Buster the person.” Posey’s agreement includes a full notrade clause and is the longest for a catcher and the largest in Giants history, surpassing Matt Cain’s $127.5 million, sixyear contract signed before the start of last season. In addition, the deal is a record guarantee for a player with fewer than three years of major league service time — more than doubling the $80 million, seven-year contract Rockies slugger Carlos Gonzalez received before the 2011 season. It also is a record guarantee for a player with fewer than four years of service time, topping the $151.45 million over 11 years Colorado’s Todd Helton was assured in March 2001. “I don’t know if we had a mountain to climb but we had a hill to climb to try to get on the same page,” general manager Brian Sabean said. “If he’s not the face of the franchise, he’s certainly a player that comes around either once every baseball life or not that often.” The Giants captured their second championship in three years behind the play of the All-Star, who won the NL batting title and MVP award after missing most of 2011 following season-ending left leg and ankle injury. Posey knows that there will be times things don’t go as well as they have so far for him with a World Series and Rookie of the Year award in 2010 followed by another title and season of honors last year.

ig air, landmark victories, powder days and pristine mountain sunshine marked the 31st annual Burton U.S. Open Snowboarding Championships.

The event made its debut at Vail Mountain’s Golden Peak this year, where the giants of the sport and riders from all over the world duked it out on the mountain’s Olympicsize slopestyle course and halfpipe. In the halfpipe competitions held on Friday, March 1 and Saturday, March 2, Shaun White and Kelly Clark took the titles with little opposition. Coming off of his sixth consecutive X Games win, White put together an unbeatable second run ZLWK D WRS VFRUH RI HDUQLQJ KLP KLV Ă€IWK 8 6 Open halfpipe victory.

Hirano also became the World Snowboard Tour Halfpipe Champion for 2013, earning a place in snowboard history as the youngest rider ever to claim the title. Louie Vito rounded out the podium in third with an overall score of 79.58. On the women’s side, Kelly Clark took an early lead, winning an unprecedented sixth U.S. Open halfpipe championship title. Clark’s winning run scored an 84.45 and included a frontside 1080, Cab 720, lien air, backside 540 and frontside 720. This victory was a landmark for Clark in more than one way: She now has the most halfpipe titles in U.S. Open history. She also earned her third World Snowboard Tour title and now boasts 61 halfpipe wins – making her the most decorated rider, male or female, in snowboarding history. “Being the winningest U.S. Open champ is such an honor,â€?

Game on, Vail Christian. I would give you the Stevie Nicks treatment — “This is it, make no mistake about it” — yet, only your parents will get it. It’s the Saints against Deer Trail today at 2:30 p.m. at Glenwood Springs High School. The winner goes on to the state tournament.

But there hasn’t been a team like this. And that’s why we’re going to a basketball game today in March. Enjoy it, and game on.

Livran takes first at Marriott Junior Championships Daily staff report

NEWSROOM@VAILDAILY.COM

BEAVER CREEK — Go, Heidi, go. Ski & Snowboard Club Vail’s Heidi Livran is on a roll. She won the super-G at the Marriott Junior Championships in Beaver Creek on Wednesday; on Thursday, for good measure, she won the giant slalom. “Well, I was pretty nervous for my second run,” Livran said. “This is the second time ever for me to go into run No. 2 in first place. The last time this happened, I got second place. I was really just trying to concentrate on my breathing going into run number two.” Following Livran in the giant slalom was Clara Hathorne from Winter Park in second, Rachael Desrochers from SSCV in third, Abigail Murer from SSCV in fourth, Megan

McGrew from USTA in fifth, Madeleine Dekko from Buck Hill in sixth, Riley Whitney from Madison Alpine Race Team in seventh, Jennie Symons from SSCV in eighth, Camilla Trapnes from SSCV in ninth and Galena Wardle from Aspen in 10th. On Friday, the guys took to the GS course as the championships continued. Adam Freeman from Winter Park came out as the victor for the men’s GS race. On the podium with Freeman was Tristan Lane in second and Sky Kelsey in third, both from Aspen. Logan Martin was SSCV’s top finisher in ninth. Today is the final day for the USSA Marriott Junior Championships. Men’s and women’s slalom will be taking place on Bear Trap, next to the Centennial lift at Beaver Creek.
