Three SSWSC U12 Devo Freeskiers travelled to Vail on March 5 for an IFSA Big Mountain competition. Fresh snow and bluebird skies greeted the competitors as they arrived at the Lover’s Leap venue.  Eby Hill started the day off for our athletes with a strong run, including solid technical skiing and multiple airs on the skier’s right side of the venue, punctuated by a clean drop of the diving board rock.  She was rewarded with a 4th place finish to complete a super strong competition year for her, featuring 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place podiums in her previous competitions. 

First-year competitor Kellen O’Connell started things off for our boys, skiing through the Box Rocks area on the left side of the venue with strong and fast skiing and a pair of airs before an unfortunate fall on his final drop.  Finishing up the day for SSWSC, Winston Whitten skied a technical entry into a big air off the diving board, followed up with strong skiing through multiple final drops, and was rewarded with a win and the opportunity to stand atop the podium.  Winston has also enjoyed a very successful year of competition, with previous 1st and 2nd place podiums under his belt.
