Whitefish Resort Race Team skiers, Madeline Williams and Nick Becker competed in 3 days of Downhill racing and training at the Big Sky Ski Area March 26-28. A day of training was followed by two days of racing. Speeds over 70 mph were posted on the Big Horn course which drops nearly 1500 feet and runs well over a mile in length.
Williams, racing in the 15-16 year-old age category placed third in both races. Becker competed in the 13-14 year-old category and posted seventh and eighth respectively.
Whitefish coach, Roy Loman said: “Madeline was awesome; she left the starting gate aggressively each run and was looking for more speed where-ever she could find it… and Becker really proved his affinity for speed in his first downhill appearance. He is in the first year of his age group and he showed that he will be right there in front of the group in his next outing.”
Throughout the season, these skiers and many others were assisted in their competitive efforts with generous support of the North Valley Hospital’s Base Lodge Clinic.
