Club Racing Comes To Bear Valley ~By John Hamilton
Bear Valley, CA...Last weekend the Bay Area Open League racing series rolled through Bear Valley Mountain Resort. This series allows for adult racers and their kids to charge down the hill. Following a race clinic on Friday, the group had two full days of racing, with Slalom on Saturday and Giant Slalom racing on Sunday. Some of the racers had a few more ticks on the clock, a few gray hairs on the head, but the chatter around the timing boards could have come from the youth racing we normally follow. The talk was of personal best times, joy when a racer bested a rival and more...

Some of the Bear Vally Race Team skiers were the "Forerunners" for the race and set some of the fastest times of the weekend including Jordan and Keely Cashman, Cooper White, Granger Hamilton and Alex Fairman. Former Bear Valley Racer, Bay area resident, Zac Comstock was back in a speedsuit and flying down the course with a division win and fastest time in his division on Sunday.
It was also anther event the Bear Valley had up on Live-Timing which is a service that feeds timing information in real time to on a run by run basis. This allows racers to instantly check their times online and is widely followed on race days as competitors can check in on most of the races in the US.
Bear Valley will also be setting gates for the public this Saturday is anyone would like to get in some :Gate Time"
Some of the results from last weekends battles can be found Here & Here!
Below is a few clips of the forerunners and competitors on the course...
