Whitefish Alpine Race Team Speeds to Good Results in Big Sky Super G


The Whitefish Alpine Race Team visited Big Sky, Montana for a USSA Sanctioned Super G race held on the difficult Hangman’s Course.
The Whitefish Skiers traveled with coaches Pete and Dick Collins, two former Whitefish Racers (and brothers) that have returned to share their racing experience with the current Juniors.
Super G typically combines high speed turns and jumps and is contested in 1 run, putting execution of that run at a premium. The technical races of Slalom and GS allow the combination of two runs giving an athlete a potential of recovering from a mistake on one of the runs. Saturday, the one run format allowed two races to be held at Big Sky
