2013 San Juans Rando CANCELLED

The 2013 San Juans Rando has been cancelled. For an alternate skirace on this date, we highly recommend Cody's Challenge in Steamboat.

 

We are already planning on bringing the San Juan event back in '14 to a different location in the South West. We regret the last-minute cancellation.

Durango / Wolf Creek results

Thank you to all that came out to race on a memorable  weekend in Durango and Wolf Creek. Friday Night Lights at Chapman Hill featured a technical two-climb lap with a boot back and a GS descent. Scott Simmons raced to the men's win in 27:30, Janelle Smiley the women's in 29:50.

 

The next morning at Wolf Creek racers found 21" of powder to make the descents truly memorable. Wolf Creek patrol made the event possible by opening up terrain only for racers. Janelle Smiley and Marshal Thompson took the honors. Results for both races are attached here.

 

Next up is a Western Slope weekend of racing on Jan. 12th at Sunlight Mt. and the 13th at Powderhorn. We look forward to seeing you there.
