Crystal Mountain Youth Triple Crown Day #1 Results

02.13.2012

Round ONE of The Crystal Mountain Triple Crown kicked off this past weekend, February 11th, on Crystal’s infamous Elk Chutes. This three part junior event gave opportunity for young mountain boarders and skiers to make a name for themselves by showcasing their skills while cruising through chutes, cliffs, trees, and rock gardens. The athletes were obviously eager to earn points towards the overall title as all participants rocked the kasbah.

In addition to earning Triple Crown title points and snagging sponsor schwag, up for grabs was $100 CA$H for best overall impression. The NWFreeride Money Line nominations went to… – Austin Stromme – Corey Nugent – Duncan McNabb – Philip Patterson A unanimous BENJAMIN delivery call went to Corey Nugent for his fast, fluid skiing mixed with big airs.

Three total girls came out to compete in the young women’s category. Since this competition is comprised of best 2 scores out of 3 rounds, I highly recommend you girls at home to come out and compete at the next round. This is anybody’s game, come get it!
