September Slalom Jamboree

A little cross-wind did not stop some fantastic skiing over the weekend.  This was our first experiment with a head to head double elimination tournament.  Even though at times, there was some confusion, the tournament kept rolling along at a good pace.  The weather was sunny and energy up. 

Mike Baldwin won the mens segment and he skied a total of 8 times in one day.  Many others skied almost as much between 4-7 sets in one tournament.  Even though there were only 4 women, it was still exciting because the women did not get a break.  Laurie (moi) and Brenda skied 4 rounds in a row, and I can personally say, I had more energy in the last round than the first.  Good skiing to Trish and Patricia as well.

The plan for the night ski did not work out because most skiers were not up for much skiing after this experience.  Thanks to Charlotte for organizing a nice dinner at Duffys and the back room was full of skiers and friends.

The record tournament the next day was also a success with a lot of good skiing and great conditions.  See you next year!  PHOTOS
