Local Ski Racing

We had a great time Sunday at Sunburst racing with the Milwaukee Metropolitan Ski Council. What a great organization. The group makes ski racing fun and as competitive as you want it to be. There are seven different classes of varying talents. Attendees or guests or those who show up run 4 races. Two are slalom, where the gates are spaced closely and two are Giant Slalom where the gates are farther apart. No one got hurt, everyone seemed to have fun and the weather was ideal. No wind, fast snow and no lines. About 50 racers carved turns down the courses. Many volunteers chip in to make it work. Check out their website at skimilwaukee.org and get involved. The group offers reduced lift tickets and many other benefits. Afterwards prizes were awarded, some resembling pint glasses with the MMSC logo. Like I said the group likes to have fun. The group races at different venues like Alpine Valley, Holy Hill, Sunburst and Crystal Ridge.
