Vail, Colo. December 5, 2022 – This past week, women alpine FIS athletes headed to Copper Mountain for the Stifel Success NorAM Series Competition. Ski & Snowboard Club (SSCV)’s current and former athletes performed well in the different slalom and giant slalom events taking home two overall podiums, 3 junior podiums (year of birth 2002-2006 athletes) and eight top ten positions across the four days of competition.
This Stifel Success NorAM Series Competition took place November 30, 2022 through December 3, 2022 at Copper Mountain. The event consisted of giant slalom the first two days of competition, with slalom on the last two days of competition. SSCV had multiple current and former FIS athletes place in the top ten, including Allie Resnick with a slalom win, Kjersti Moritz (2004) with a bronze and Liv Moritz (2004) with a 5th overall. SSCV had three junior podiums, including Ava Jemison snagging 3rd on 11/30, Kjersti Moritz taking 2nd on 12/1 and Liv Moritz grabbing 2nd on 12/3 Another stand out performance came from SSCV current athlete Tianna Bruce on December 3rd, who started bib 84 and finished in 24th place scoring her first ever NorAm Cup points. This was Tianna’s first race series back after breaking her tibia roughly one year ago.
“Our current and former athletes definitely showed up this past week at the NorAM competition in Copper,” said Brad Wall, SSCV Alpine Program Director. “I am incredibly proud of our younger athletes, Kjersti and Liv Moritz, for their incredible placements, specifically against these older athletes. For many of our athletes it was their first look at NorAm competition, for some it was an eye opener as to what that level of skiing looks like. Overall, it was a great competition for SSCV!”
