<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">We had a great weekend of racing at Mt. Rose, with beautiful weather and two GS’s on the terrific, and challenging, race hill at Slide Mountain. Many thanks to the volunteers and ski
school personnel who put on the event for us, and the staff at the day lodge who provided beer, wine and good food for Saturday’s awards event, not to mention the coffee and doughnuts at the bottom of the race hill. As always a special thank you to Rees Palermo
for spearheading the event. In addition, we had a special treat with the appearance of Tamara McKinney who handed out awards.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
