SOELDEN WORLD CUP OPENER

KIWI SKIER, ALICE ROBINSON, WINS WORLD CUP OPENER ON OCTOBER 26 IN SOELDEN

On Saturday Oct 26, seventeen-year old Alice Robinson became the youngest Soelden World Cup winner EVER, and the youngest WC winner since Mikaela Schiffrin nearly 7 years ago. With an incredible second run, she edged Schiffrin and Tessa Worley out for the win. It was only her 11th start.

“It’s nice to start off quite well, but I just got to keep building and hopefully keep it up,” said Robinson, who plans to start in her first World Cup speed event at a super-G in St. Moritz in December.

Robinson moved to Queenstown from Australia at age four and learned skiing at Coronet Peak. A local coach, Tim Cafe, led her through the international youth ranks but the pair went separate ways after Robinson joined Chris Knight’s International Ski Racing Academy in the Italian Dolomites, with Val di Fassa and San Pellegrino as main training venues. She also trained in the past at Sugar Bowl Academy, CA.  We’ve known awesome Alice and her wonderful family for many years and can’t wait to watch her bright future!

FROG LAKE UPDATE

TRUCKEE DONNER LAND TRUST MEETING

Last week Chris went with Truckee Donner Land Trust Executive Director, Perry Norris, out to Frog Lake to get a look at this incredible 600-acre new acquisition that will provide fantastic backcountry skiing, secluded summer rock climbing, and future hiking and biking trails. This is the type of location we want to take you to! The campaign to conserve Frog Lake, Red Mountain & Carpenter Ridge ties into other conserved landscapes like Lower Carpenter Valley and Independence Lake, and gives a sneak peak at potential trails that will open up these incredible places to the public. Please respect the current property owners and wait to explore these in 2020 when we complete the acquisition.
