...awaited his turn and checked the speeds of competitors. He was No. 14, and by the time he pushed off, the run was rutted and choppy; the leader was his own teammate, Guy Périllat, who had started first and zipped down the 1.8-mile course in 1 min. 59.93 sec. "I knew Périllat's time," Jean-Claude said afterward. "I figured I had the race in hand." He did.

Though the flight took four hours (v. 2 hrs. 15 min. for a jet), club members were paying only $111 each for round-trip air fare, two days of food and lodging, and a ticket to the game -nearly one-third less than the cheapest Super Bowl package offered by the airlines. And one economy leads to another. Social Worker John Butler, 58, joined the Roamers in early December, "so I could do my Christmas shopping in St. Croix." There are also...
