Vail, Colo. January 11, 2022 – This past Saturday, young alpine athletes had the opportunity to compete on Golden Peak course in Vail, for the first Rocky Mountain Division Age Class competition of the season. During the two days of slalom racing, Ski & Snowboard Club Vail (SSCV) athletes raced their hearts out at their home mountain and took 117 top five positions, across the two days and 8 total slalom races.

These United States Ski & Snowboard sanctioned Age Class competitions happen across the Rocky Mountain Division throughout the season and include younger alpine ski racers between the age groups of U10 (birth year 2012-2013), U12 (birth year 2010-2011), and U14 (birth year 2008-2009). These competitions consist of each athlete competing in single run giant slalom and slalom races within their age class and gender, along with being placed on an overall results list.

Overall, SSCV did incredibly well as a club at this first Age Class competition of the season. The SSCV girls took 20 out of 20 top fives out of the overall results for the first day. Among U10, U12, and U14, the SSCV girls captured 57 out of 60 of the top five results across all age classes. The SSCV boys had a similar performance and took 20 out of 20 top fives out of the overall results for the second day. Among U10, U12, and U14, the boys had 60 out of 60 of the top five results across all age classes.

“The U12 and U10 athletes have been working hard in training and did well across the board in both girls and boys,” said Alex Shorter, SSCV Alpine Children’s Program Director. “It was impressive to watch how much these athletes have improved this season and they continue to evaluate what they need to work on. It’s a highly motivated and passionate team of athletes and coaches.”

Rob Worrell, SSCV Head U14 Alpine Coach said, “Our U14 team has lots of depth and it is great to see them out there pushing themselves to achieve their personal goals and being role models for our up and coming U10 and U12 racers.”

Below are the detailed results between the two days, overall results, and top five placements for each age class:
