This past weekend we both competed in the Pokal Loka Shootout in Sugar Bowl California. All competitors trained both GS and Slalom on Friday 21st. Sunny weather welcomed us with a great opportunity to see other racers and get to know the hill. We trained a tight GS that threw many of the atheletes. Our Slalom course was watered, creating yellow ice that coated the race hill. Only a handful of athletes finished runs in training, even after three runs of each.
Then on Satuday the race began with slalom time trials. Molly began with a small detour to say hi to an outside gate. While Breezy placed just off the podium in fourth. The second run went well for both of us. Breezy won and Molly placed fourth. Breezy took another win in the third run and Molly had the lowest time with a solid DNF.
As the second day rolled around Breezy took first, sharing the podium with Molly in third. Breezy also placed first in the second run giving her a perfect score in the standings. Molly, through a series of unfortunate events took a pleasant vacation to the ski patrol room prohibiting her from getting a third run.
Another exciting weekend is soon to come with both of us going toe to toe at the David Wright GS’s at Park City.
