My son did his first ski cross race on Saturday.
For those that don’t know what ski cross is, imagine this…
A bobsled track made of pure ice, about 20’ wide and with jumps. Oh and they send 4 kids at once and they race to the bottom.
It’s awesome to watch, and the kids LOVED it!
They ran 4 heats and those with the most points carried on to the round robin finals.
This was his last heat and he is in the red bib. He finished up 3rd but was reeling in 2nd. He had a bit of a crappy start and didn’t nail the first jump otherwise he could have won it. He’s super proud of where he finished up (mid pack), he had a ton of fun, and prefers this to slalom and giant slalom racing gates for the best time.
