Check Out the Results from the High Country Junior Race Series Competition at Beech Mountain Resort Jan. 26

Jan. 29, 2014. Last weekend’s High Country Junior Race Series race at Beech Mountain was just the third race of the season, but the competition is already fierce. 

36570557_cCVmnfThe High Country Junior Race Series first began almost three decades ago in 1984. What started  as a friendly competition between junior skiers became a huge race series that brings together junior athletes, ages 4 to 18, to participate in a series of races held at each ski area, including Appalachian Ski Mountain, Beech Mountain Resort and Sugar Mountain Resort. 

The top three finishers in each category are awarded a medal at the end of each race. Placement of racers earns them points which are collected over the season during the multiple races to be added together for a final season score for the championships., where trophies are awarded to the athletes with the most combined points for the season. 

The race results for the Jan. 26 race are as follows. The next race is scheduled for Feb. 2 at Appalachian Ski Mtn. For more information, visit the website here.
