Carpathian Ski Club sponsors annual ski races in upstate New York

WINDHAM, N.Y. - The annual ski races of the Carpathian Ski Club (KLK) were held at Ski Windham on March 11. Fifty-six racers from six different states and one from Ukraine competed on the NASTAR-sanctioned course.

The races were held at Ski Windham in the Catskills in New York, while the awards banquet was held at nearby Hunter Mountain. The events were co-sponsored by the Selfreliance Credit Union of Philadelphia and Slavutych Brewery of Ukraine.

Trophies, funded by the credit union, were awarded for the top three places in the six youth divisions. Medals were awarded for all older age brackets.

In addition to these awards, two special trophies were awarded. The transitional trophy, presented to the best all-around skier posting the best time among all age groups and sexes (skiers cannot win this trophy more than once) this year was awarded to Severin B. Palydowycz, who turned in a time of 30.68 in the men's age 35-49 group. A special trophy was awarded to Dr. Valeriy Hrebeniuk, consul at the Embassy of Ukraine in Washington, who competed in this year's races.

Trophies were presented by two-time world downhill champion Karl Plattner and KLK's current president, Erko Palydowycz.

Though the ski races are open to all skiers, most of those who competed this year were members of KLK and several were members of KLK in Lviv.
