for the Overall Award, with Singles League in
second place, and Sierra League in third place.
The Roma McCoy Award was won by Singles League, with Open League in Second and
Sierra League in third place. Open League had
the only Junior racers and won the Overall and
Points Per Racer Awards for Juniors.
This year, we had Ski Week at Steamboat
Ski Resort, and we had a great time! The race
courses were very firm with fresh snow on
top, for all our race days. In the Council Challenge Match Race, we changed the format to
the team with the least difference from the
first run to the second run. Once again, the
Los Angeles Council team was first with a difference of 1.76 seconds, Sierra Council took second with 2.37 seconds difference, and Sierra
Council 2 was third with 3.29 seconds difference. In the Costume Division, Sierra Council
took first and San Diego Council was a close
second.
In the two GS Races, the results for the
Lake Louise Top Council Award was won by
Bay Area Council with 760 points, in second
was Los Angeles Council with 398 points, and
third was Sierra Council with 356 points. The
Joe Ross Award for Top Club was won by
Rusty Bindings Ski Club with 282 points, second was Cabernet with 244 points, and third
was Aerospace with 187 points. The individual
results had Don Shafe being the fastest man
both days, and the fastest women were Joyce
Hedlund on Monday and Kathy Brewington
on Wednesday. Congratulations to all the
racers in all the classes!
At the Far West Convention in Indian
Wells, John Walsh was the recipient of the
Terry Smith Award from the Far West Racing
Association. (See page 43)
Next year we will have Ski Week at Big
Sky Resort in Montana, and we will have the
Far West Championships at Mammoth
Mountain on April 4, 2020. ss
