Disappointing Eastern Cup at Sugarloaf


Men’s alpine skiers ventured to sugarloaf a couple weeks ago and had a few disappointing results and race cancelations.

Racers Matthew Saehrig, Arron Taylor and Pieter Van Ingen, left NSA looking for some solid finishes at the second eastern cup series of the year. 

Their were two Giant Slalom and two Super G events scheduled.

In the first race Saehrig and Taylor did not finish.

Van Ingen finished but did not have the race he was looking for.

The second GS Arron Taylor put together two sold runs after started dead last and scored his first Fis GS points.

Saehrig did not finish again and Van Ingen had another decent result.

The next two days were Supper G’s that were cancelled.

Ski racers and coaches commonly said “Welcome to Suagarloaf”.

The first race was canceled because of freezing rain that made it impossible for racers to see and the next day was canceled due to a foot of fresh snow that covered the supper G track.

Although the Sugarloaf race crew did their best to get the two supper Gs running it was an impossible feat and left the NSA racers disappointed.
