A course change (necessitated by some radical icy downhills on the originally planned course) and an inch or two of fresh snow overnight led to some beautiful racing under overcast and snow flurried skies.
The Far West team was led once again by Joanne Reid in the J2 Girls division. It was an interval start day, with coaches spread all around the course to give splits and cheer on the racers. The challenging course led to all-out "Git After It" skiing by the Far West team, with some exceptional results sprinkled throughout the placings, notably Austin Meng, Michelle Cahill, and Stefan Benier, among others.

A win by Joanne Reid certainly was the highlight of this gorgeous, sunny day, with Joanne leading the race for much of the course, then falling back to third on the final uphill only to catch and pass the New England and Alaska skiers in front of her on the final run through the stadium. Bernie Nelson showed incredible form in skiing to 9th place in the incredibly competitive J1 Girls event, gaining Far West's 4th medal of the week. Annika Taylor was challenging for a top 10 until breaking a pole and falling back to finish in 27th. Russell Kennedy was also in the running for medal for much of his race until finishing in 22nd Place in the Boys J1. Carson Lindsay and Laura Rodrigues also skied to excellent finishes.
