CSU Juniors scored big again at this weekend's JOQ races at Trapps. In the J2 races Jackson Rich and Corey Stock won both days with Hannah Smith finishing 7th in skate and 3rd in classic and Eli Hoenig 4th in skate and 3rd in classic. It sure was nice seeing all those CSU jackets up on the podium! The other really notable race came in today's wild and wooly classic race, which included not only the college carnival skiers, but also the Super Tour skiers. In the women's race Olga Golovkina finished a truly outstanding 9th place!!
Mother Nature threw the book of wild winter weather at us today starting with some light mist and temps in the 40s overnight to sleet when we arrived at the race venue, through heavy snow and howling winds to dropping temperatures as the sun came out. Rob and I tried any number of wax combinations starting with straight klister, klister covered, straight hardwax and then back to klister covered and nothing was good everywhere. BUT, we also tried our hairies and those worked great as did waxless ARs and Crowns, so all the kids went out on hairies or waxless and the results show that worked wonderfully. In the men's race the tracks really iced up and nothing was perfect, although ARs were probably respectable
nearly 
everywhere. NENSA put up an excellent photo by Kris Dobie that shows just what kind of a day it was during the J2 race at: http://www.nensa.net/news/news_more.php?id=3152A wild and successful weekend for CSU!
