At regionals this year skiers were given a little goody bag. Being my first time at this competition I don’t know if this is a common thing, or the a new idea. Either way, the bag was filled with …. well… stuff. Some of it was useful to a degree, I got a nice Kodak [...]

With Regionals cranking along this weekend its been easy to witness some fantastic skiing, but something happened that I don’t believe I have ever witnessed at any tournament, novice to record capable. One of those fantastic skiers is a local woman skier who got a score of “zero” for a pass she has completed probably [...]
