Feb 12 – High Country Jr. Race Series
“Alpine ski racing, for obvious geographical and logistical reasons, is not a sport that most children in America would immediately think of if asked what sports they might like to try. But, in the High Country of North Carolina, we have thriving ski racing programs for kids. With a little help from plate tectonics (uplifting the Appalachian Mountains) and from mother nature for cooperating with winter temperatures conducive to snow making, ski racing programs are alive and well here.” – HCJRS webpage
HCJRS will host its second of races on Beech Mountain February 12. Points are awarded for the race as part of the series. Skiers must be 18 or younger. For more information, visit http://www.hcjrs.com/.
