Bear Valley's 2nd Giant Slalom and Race Clinic Held Last Weekend ~With Video Enclosed By John Hamilton
Bear Valley, CA...This last weekend Bear Valley held the Second of their Giant Slalom Races for the winter season. The field was filled with young members of the Bear Valley Development Teams, Coaches & Ski Instructors and local hot shots. These races are a good way for the young skiers to test their progress against their peers and also see if they would like to make the jump to the Bear Valley Race Team. The fastest time of the day was turned in by first year Devo Coach Zac Comstock. As some of you may recall Zac made it all the way to the Junior Olympics last year as a J3 racer. This year he has hung up his speed suit to focus on teaching the next generation of skiers. Coming in second by only a few hundredths of a second was local Bear Valley legend Mark Phillips. Mark proved he can still give the youngsters a run for their money even though he is now...

in his fifth decade. Mark was using this race a tune up as he gets ready to head back to the NASTAR Nationals again this year at Steamboat March 26-29, 2009.
Before the race Bear Valley Race Team Coach John Colonais held a race clinic to help up and coming racers charge out of the starting gates.
