Pat's Peak Slalom


Pat's Peak was the destination for the penultimate Slalom of our season. We were fortunate to be able to have two courses set. Unfortunately, this didn't stop the course from turning into a bobsled run. With the Super Bowl on everyone's mind we pushed through the day efficiently. 

It was great weather at the Peak. Emily and Kia were able to stop for a moment to get an early morning photo with the Pat's Peak mascot. It was good luck for Kia who ended up taking a second in the race. The women's team had some tough breaks with several falls preventing them from having three solid finished. As they head into the final races at Wildcat, they will have the benefit of bringing Krista back from the Disabled List and going for broke as they seek to seal the deal on the path to Regionals. 
The men's team continued its moves forward as they worked hard to improve on past performances. We were proud to once again have five finishers, and Michael Cohen '11 posted a personal best in slalom. We are excited about the upcoming weekend at Wildcat, not only for the chance to finish the season with strong race results, but what is shaping up to be a great alumni event. On Sunday we will be holding the first annual Alumni Cup as we take to the treacherous Cheetah trail at Wildcat. Look forward to seeing you there!
