Who knew the start of Winter could be this fun and nice?!? A new season of ski racing on the beautiful Grand Mesa began 12/8 with an enthusiastic field and wonderful conditions. Teenagers were the stars! From the young set, Jack Purcell won the classic 5K overall, Dewa Ilg was the 2nd woman in while Tyler Blair and Jack Purcell were 2 and 3 in the freestyle 5K. I trust they’re all looking at a long future of fast skiing. Of course, everybody else had a great time, put up impressive times and topped it all off with hot homemade soup and sunshine. Empowered Energy Systems, our series sponsor, ensures these fun races keep happening. Thanks!
