He got into it from his love of skiing. Pre-race organizers go through the course and clean away the rocks and obstacles as best they can. [The rough course] doesn’t scare him. To consider entering this event: need to be confident skier; to wear heavy pants for protection on legs and arms, helmet and pair of gloves; keep your head about you – it’s lots of fun. Discussion that some of the falls are very spectacular to watch. Time on Sunday: skier registration at 10am at Kokanee Cutbanks right on the flat bed; racing starting at noon. Concession and toilet facilities and parking available. Asking spectators to park on the city side of the bank – NRT Ready Mix offered their parking lot for the occasion to help lessen traffic congestion. Big sponsors this year include: Bob Husband and the people at Labatts and Kokanee – without them Sandblast wouldn’t be happening due to liabilities going up. Also a thank you to George and the people at Northern Ski – backbone of Sandblast. Also Pacific Western Airlines – winner will win trip anywhere in Canada. Prizes also include: walkmans, skiing accessories, sports gear, t-shirts, cameras, etc… Divisions of competition include: men’s and women’s slalom; telemark event; and prizes for safety and a helmet; also a hidden time prize.
