Howdy, racers! Hope you all had as much fun playing in the snow as we did. A great turnout with some fast racers and even better costumes rounded out a snowy Saturday at Alpental. Huge thanks to all the volunteers, ski patrol, Summit of Snoqualmie crew, and you guys for making it happen. It wasn’t a normal year but I think we are all just happy we were able to come back to some racing safely after this race was cancelled last year. Now, on to the results!

Results

Thanks for bearing with us with results. Obviously we like to post them instantaneously in a normal year, but this year we had to wait for everyone to finish to see where the final times ended up. A quick summary is below! If you are a category winner, please email richard@snowgoatskimo.com with your address so he can mail out your award. Too bad we couldn’t have gotten podium pictures! Queen and King of Alpental won a CAMP Rapid Racing skimo pack.
