Alpine racers travel to Utah, McCall

Races at Snowbird, Brundage

     Snowbird’s Wilbere Ridge Race Hill hosted U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA) Intermountain Cup U-18 and over slalom qualifiers in Utah Saturday, Feb. 8.

     There were 19 Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation racers in the field of 75 from Utah, Idaho and Wyoming.

     Safety concerns prompted the jury to cancel Sunday’s racing in the U18+ giant slalom qualifier at Snowbasin, Utah. The jury decided not to race because of safety concerns. Both nighttime and daytime temperatures at Snowbasin were unseasonably warm over the weekend.
