And the questions continue. The ski cross was cancelled this morning, it was felt one of the turns was unsafe. Bummer for the skiers. Snowboard cross is still up in the air. They were resetting the course and were going to make a decision after inspection. I just saw some riders come down so maybe?? Whitney was not feeling that there would be racing today but we'll see. It's so hard to get in a racing mindset when you don't know if it's going to happen or not. She's excited about racing, happy to be out there, but also like everyone else here a bit frustrated.
So in the end there was a race...sort of. They ended up doing two timed runs each, they took the best time, and ranked the riders based off that. It was a long day of back and forth, they had to keep one of the lifts open for the riders because it was past closing time by the time they finished, and it was honestly the strangest race I've been to, there was so much indecision. There's still no official word if FIS has accepted the results. Whitney finished 24th and was pleased with that.
We woke up the next morning to several inches of snow, which was so pretty, but we were headed south, into rain and fog.
We're off later this week to Colorado, where there's plenty of snow and another NorAm race at Ski Cooper.
