Three Northwood racers improved their international slalom ranking in races against other U19 racers and college athletes at the FIS Ladies Devo Series at Proctor Ski Area on Tuesday, January 22. Chelsea Smith ’19 (41st place), Sarah Coombs ’19 (43rd place) and Julia Geraldi ’20 scored in the first race. This was Geraldi’s first race back following a knee injury, and she looks to continue lowering her points profile. Sarah Coombs ’19 (35th place) scored in the second race. JoJo Rosenbluth ’19 also competed in the races.
The U19 Boys traveled to Mittersill Cannon Mountain for slalom races. The conditions were very difficult after almost two feet of snow. Most of the boys ended up with letters instead of times, DNF (did not finish). Andrew VanSlyke ’20 found a way to improve his international slalom ranking.
