Colby Carnival - Sugarloaf, ME

Molly, assistant coach, juicing skis
      For many, Sugarloaf is associated with challenging weather and it was nothing less for this weekend's carnival. On day one, the team raced Giant Slalom. They battled cold temperatures, wind, snow, and, of course, limited visibility.

     Gabbi Hall was the top Saint Mike's finisher of the day with 18th. Kerstin Middleton was the next best female finisher with 33rd place. Christina Billotti came in 37th after hiking both runs! On the men's side, John David Levine led with a 21st place. Kevin O'Brien was close behind in 26th place. Carl Oscar Bredengen came in 28th, Nathan Bryant skied to 37th, and Tim Spangler came in 39th.

      On Day 2, the sun was shining while temperatures dropped. The slalom ran on the lower part of the GS course. It was about 40 seconds long, making it an all out sprint. Carl Oscar Bredengen finished 22nd moving up 25 spots. John David Levine moved up to 34th and Nathan Bryant was close behind in 35th. Kevin O'Brien was 37th. For the women, Gabbi Hall lead with 24th place. Kelly Waddle followed with 36th place on her home course. Kerstin Middleton moved up to 43rd.  To view results head over to: www.eisaskiing.org
