Middlebury/Dartmouth

We had quite an exciting weekend!  

Here is the short of it:

Geordie's win in the SL and second run victory for a 4th in the GS.  Victor's 16th in the Midd. SL.  Annie's best Carnival GS result, 11th. Chris, earning three point races and combining with Victor , Dylan and Carson to provide three scorer's in every event. 

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we had a race winner!!!!!!! Top step of the podium!

Chris gets ready to send it, while Geordie tries to keep out of the wind below 

Racers get a ride up because the lift cannot run in these high winds.  It became a very exciting scene - athletes sliding back off the end of the rope, sliding into each other, falling off the line altogether!  Quite a scene out there!

Athletes clamber off the snow cat and hike through the woods to the start.

Thanks for such a fun and successful weekend!

Suicide Six Slalom

We raced at S6 last Sunday. After some pretty tough weather this winter so far, it was really nice to soak up some vitamin D. Highlights: Christoph made a huge leap from bin 41 to 4th at first run, winding up 12th overall. Way to stomp it out there. Carson spent the most time on the course first run, adding a Nordic portion in the middle. The race is the oldest in the country and there are some pretty great traditions that go along with it - like the sausage wrapped in pancakes dipped in maple syrup. I'd recommend it!
