First-time skier cross/boarder cross event deemed a success

Dear Editor,

I didn't see an article on the FIS/USSA Hole Shot Tour held on Bear Mtn. in Killington last month, and wanted to acknowledge all the people who made this first-time Skier Cross/Boarder Cross event such a huge success!

FIS, USSA, the Killington Ski Club/Killington Mountain School, KSC/KMS Race Crew, Killington Staff, and a slew of local volunteers combined to make this event a first-class international competition.

A tremendous showing of some of our best local skiers, riders, and supporters, combined to make certain this two-day (sun-drenched), event would be both very exciting and successful.

Mazie Hayden foreran both days, our son, Rocky Lucian, placed 3rd in the Skier Cross finals on day two (special thanks to Black Dog Sports and Surefoot for their support), and several KSC/KMS skiers and riders, among them local snowboarder Max Ellis, posted very respectable results.

Congrats to all involved in the success of yet another awesome home- town event!

Dot Lucian, Mendon, Vt.
