Tournament Results Here Some pictures are Here
This years state Championships was a great success with 106 skiers from 14 clubs battling the waters for the coveted State Team Trophy. Teh Ski club of Silent Shores pulled every skier they had and spread them through every division to win the bragging rights for 2011. The well attended event went without a hitch till mother nature decided to pass a storm cloud late Sunday which caused a short delay and thinned the crowd but the competition wasn't over till the last skier.
When you see this
face on the slalom starting dock at 7:00 in the morning you know
they mean business. Patty successfully skied her 4 passes in the
Grassroots division without getting her hair wet.
