The crew just before the GS start. Sunny skies!
Nikki Sardelli at the GS start.
The first USASA Southern Vermont Series (SVS) alpine race day is in the books after a morning GS and an afternoon SL. With sunny skies and warm temps (still...ugh), the courses were soft. The morning's GS was very turny and technical, while the afternoon's SL was fast and straight.
After some amazing Giant Slalom competition, the top three riders in the Menehune Boys (10-11) were seperated by less than 1.0 second after 2 runs with KMS Elite Team member Ethan Farmer, age 10 from Randolph VT, taking home the Silver medal. KMS Snowboard Team Class of '16 Nikki Sardelli, 13 from Killington, VT, had a great first showing of the season taking home the Gold for Breaker Girls (12-13) after two solid runs. KMS Sophomore Logan Farmer, 15 from Randolph, beat out the next rider by less than 0.1 seconds for Silver in Youth Boys (14-15). Also racing were Alex Sheppard, 15 from Woodstock, VT, who pulled in 4th place in Youth Boys and Kamran Gossieaux 16 from Andover, MA who scored a fifth place in Junior Boys (16-17).
The afternoon's fast Slalom course provided more great results for the KMS Team. Ethan Farmer had a fall in his first run but managed a 3rd place result and still landed on the podium. Nikki Sardelli continued a great day with another 1st place finish and Logan Farmer was edged out by less than one second to bring home the Bronze medal. Alex Sheppard landed a fifth place and Kamran Gossieaux rounded out the KMS Team with a fifth place spot as well.
Great Job KMS! We race again next Monday, 1/16!
