A BIG Thank You to everyone who came out to cheer on the racers this past Saturday. Despite the very chilly days leading up to the race, Saturday brought blue bird skies, 40* conditions, and lots of smiles to the Alpine Bank Classic at Spring Gulch.We are also very appreciative of all the hard work put in by the SGNC, SG groomers, and other volunteers. At the end of it all, we sent about 300 middle school and high school skiers out on course. It was also a special treat to have two CRMS alumni return to forerun the race, Julia Hedman and Elissa Rodman, pictured in the photograph above.
Our CRMS skiers took advantage of racing on their home course; finishing with some great times. Of special note are Gus Griffin who finished 1st for the boys, in 11th, and Jacqueline Larouche who finshed first for the girls in 23rd. As a team the boys finished in 10th place and the girls finished in 8th place. After a little clean up and some play time on the megafone we headed to the Deveny's house in Carbondale for a well deserved Chili lunch! Mmmmm...
This weekend some of our skiers head to Durango for a RMD race, while others will stay to do a time trial at Spring Gulch and work on some downhill technique. Who knows... a trip to Snowmass may be in order.
