Check Out the Results from the High Country Junior Race Series Competition at Sugar Mountain Resort Feb. 9

Feb 11, 2014. Last weekend’s High Country Junior Race Series race at Sugar Mountain Resort was the fifth race of the season and competition is fierce.

36721455_ccPN9BThe 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 Feb. 9 race are as follows. The next race is scheduled for Feb. 23 at Beech Mountain Resort. For more information, visit the website here.
