Wisconsin Junior Ski Racing
The ski season for youth racers in Wisconsin is up and running. WJR kicked off the season with its first race, Saturday, January 2nd, at Ausblick in Sussex. The cold weather did not deter the smiles and eager faces of the many local youth who showed up to test their mettle against their peers.
Earlier in the week, the Lakers Ski Team, which trains at Devil’s Head, held a “Christmas Camp” to prepare for the new season. Ski training met holiday giving as the skiers, in conjunction with the staff at Devil’s Head, held a ski race event that joined toy donation with ski racing, called “Toys for Turns”. Skiers were able to run a timed race course, in exchange for a toy donation for needy kids. Check out this video link of some of the kids who were there to train and run the course over the week. For more information on WJR, Lakers , or Devil’s Head Ski Racing, check out their websites. There’s still time to join a team, or just come out and watch a race. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
