What a great championship!!! Mr. RaceBoarder7 placed 6th in GS, 4th! in Dual SL, and 5th in the combined Men's All-State Team!! Great job!!:o<O:p</O:p

My girl, racerXchika, placed 2nd in GS, 3rd in Dual SL, and 2nd in the combined Women's All-State Team!!!! YAHOOOO!!<O:p</O:p

Our schools from the very north end of the state were a solid force to be reckoned with: 1st and 2nd place Women's teams were from way up north (Mount Shasta High - Mount Shasta and High School - <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comShasta</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st=" /><st1:City w:st="on">Redding</st1:City>) with <ST1:pNorth Tahoe</ST1:p placing 3rd. For the Men, 2nd and 3rd places were from the superior section of the state also (Mount Shasta and Yreka), and <st1:City w:st="on"><ST1:pEl Dorado </ST1:p</st1:City>(East of Sacramento in the Sierra Foothills) railed their way into a solid 1st place. 7 of the top 10 Men's teams were schools all north of <st1:City w:st="on"><ST1:pSacramento</ST1:p</st1:City>!! The Tahoe basin, Sierra foothills, Mammoth, and Rim of the World (Lake Arrowhead/San Bernardino County) made up the remaining top 10 Women's team positions.<O:p</O:p

The racers, their parents, coaches and all others involved were an absolutely AWESOME, TOP-NOTCH bunch of people!<O:p</O:p

<ST1:p<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Mount Shasta</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Ski</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Park</st1:PlaceType></ST1:p pulled out all the stops in making this event welcome and well accommodated, and Mother Nature was mostly on our side.<O:p</O:p

Congratulations to all of these fine student athletes!! :biggthump

Which makes me wonder; do any other states/regions have an organized and sanctioned High School Ski and/or snowboard program? Wouldn't it be great if there were more and there was a national championship for these kids?? Toss any thoughts in if you like....<O:p</O:p

Next time you find yourself alone in your hardboots, come to <ST1:pMount Shasta</ST1:p and you'll have more company on any given day than you ever though possible!!<O:p</O:p

Congrats to Robbie & Chika! The conditions were very tough for racing, you had to be there to appreciate how hard it was to run in that slush. The crews really did a good job of trying to smooth out the course and keep things running. I've never seen so many hardbooters in one place at the same time, hopefully someone took some pic's??? If anyone thought hardbooting was dead, especially for the up and coming generations, they've never been to our area when races like these are being held!
