Loup Loup’s Olivia Glenn flies through a gate during competition last weekend.
The Loup Loup Alpine Ski Team traveled to Mission Ridge last weekend for the Apple Cup Race. Ten local racers competed against a large field that included 115 boys and 105 girls for two days of Giant Slalom competition, team coach Bret Alumbaugh reported.
“Conditions were perfect for racing, with a firm surface and blue skies through the weekend,” the coach said.
The highlight for the Loup Loup team was Aidan Catlin’s first-place finish in Sunday’s U14 Boys race.
“Aidan had a very fast second run on Sunday to come from behind and win by .01 of a second,” Alumbaugh said. “With not a lot of practice running gates to start our season, all of our kids had a great weekend.”
