TELEMARK SKI PRESENTATION OFFERED AT SLU

CANTON – "A Ski Journey to the Chinese Altai" is the title of a 
slide presentation to be given by professional telemark skiers Heather 
Paul and Naheed Henderson on Wednesday, February 18, at 7 p.m. in 
Room 123 of the Griffiths Arts Center at St. Lawrence University. 
The event is open to the public, free of charge; door prizes will 
also be given at the event.
	Two-time National Telemark Champion Paul and Henderson, a 
1998 St. Lawrence graduate, are among a group of skiers who recently 
skied the Chinese Altai Mountains. The Altai Mountains are a vast, 
remote mountain system in Central Asia, running roughly northwest to 
southeast through the region where Russia, Kazakhstan, China, and 
Mongolia meet. Despite their relatively small size, the Altais are 
extremely rugged and picturesque, with rich forests stretching high 
into mountain valleys and glaciers in the higher valleys. The team 
began the first leg of the trek in the remote Chinese Altai Mountains, 
then navigated Lake Kanas to reach the valley on its far side to 
reach their desired location, far away from more populated villages.

Philip Royce at 315-229-5376.
