Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation U-16 alpine racer Taylor Cooper ripped off a second-place slalom finish in Sunday’s David Wright Memorial finale on Picabo’s Run at Park City (Utah) Mountain Resort.

Cooper and fifth-place U-16 (ages 14-15) Will Snyder posted encouraging results on a course that claimed 29 of the 75 starters. The SVSEF put five racers in the top 10—the others Austin Savaria (11th), Trenor Gould (13th) and Tanner Riedel (17th class, 19th overall).

Stockton Troyer led the 16-racer Sun Valley boys’ traveling team in giant slalom with sixth and sevenths in U-16.

In the women’s races for 74 U-18 and U-16 racers including 10 from the SVSEF, Samantha Busby narrowly missed the podium with fourth place in Saturday’s giant slalom, and Royce Rheinschild had the top SVSEF slalom finish, 16th.

The Wright Memorial finalized the Intermountain Division team that has qualified for the U-16 Championships (SG, GS, SL) March 19-23 at Alyeska, Alaska. Sun Valley claimed 14 of the 47 IMD spots (30% of the entire team) and also had five of the 10 alternates to the team.

Head U-16 coach Scott McGrew said, “The team has a very strong showing. Taking 30% of the quota is a huge statement, considering the size of our community.”
