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.

Pinecrest, CA...Last weekend the Far West Central Series rolled into Dodge Ridge for the next leg of the United States Ski & Snowboard Associations Central Series Races.
