KMS alumni continue to shine on the NCAA circuit, with Zach Clayton ’07 again leading the charge at last weekend’s UNH Carnival. With the giant slalom cancelled due to weather conditions, only the slalom remained, and Zach finished the day seven hundredths of a second off the podium, in fourth position. The other four KMS alumni competing—Allison Visconti ’11, Tim Spangler ’09, Heidi Robbins ’07 and Jim Ryan ’09—were among the many competitors who didn’t finish the second run. NCAA racing continues this weekend with the UVM Carnival at Stowe, Vt., where Matt Beers ’10 will join Tim and Heidi to represent the Purple Knights. In USCSA racing, Robert Visconti ’08 had a second-place finish in this past Sunday’s giant slalom at Dartmouth Skiway; his Northeastern teammate Tori Hone ’10 had a pair of 31st-place finishes, while her sister, Katherine Hone ’11, scored 11th- and a 13th-place finishes in the McBrine division race at Magic Mountain.

The Nor Am mogul series opens next week in Telluride, while regional mogul competition continues at Killington and Sunapee. The Killington Klassic, featuring top regional competitors from freestyle programs and ski academies throughout the east, will take place on Killington’s Conclusion trail.

EQS mogul competition resumes at Sunapee, while USSA freeskiing competition will take place at New Hampshire’s Waterville Valley and USASA action for freeskiing and snowboard competitors resumes at Okemo with slopestyle and halfpipe competitions scheduled.
