Alpine Meadows

The competition at the Junior Big Mountain Invitational was fierce.  Select members of three local freestyle teams competed this past Sunday at Alpine Meadows – off-piste – in the Three Sisters.  These young competitors’ ages ranged form 11 to 14, with skills mad enough to be seen on the big screen.  Teams from Alpine Meadows, Squaw Valley and Sugar Bowl were judged in five categories: line, technique, control, fluidity, and overall impression.  I can tell you, I was impressed!  Take a look at the photos and results below:
