The top 10 after qualifying skied-off in a 1 run "dual knock out" race. 10th and 9th place raced against each other, 8th and 7th place together, etc. all the way to 1st against 2nd place. For those 5 final runs there was no timing, as it was simply a knock out race.
"The night slalom was super fun and it got the kids pumped up! Skiing after dark under the lights is magical and made this event memorable for all," said a parent of one of the competitors. Thank you to the Apex Ski Club, Apex Mountain Resort and all the coaches and volunteers who made this special experience possible!
Congratulations to Samantha Gaul and Devin Mittertreiner for taking it all!!
