From the StarPhoenix archives:

Mount Blackstrap was the site of the northern Saskatchewan freestyle skiing championships during the weekend, and as Star-Phoenix photographer Peter Wilson discovered, the action was captivating. Alistair Boulton of Saskatoon was the overall winner in the open class, finishing first in aerials and second to Rick Schwinghamer of Saskatoon in both the moguls and ballet events. The provincial final is scheduled for March 3-4, also at Blackstrap.
