Our Champion Sierra wins an FIS Slalom race in Snowshoe WV

Feb 2nd  2025 Snowshoe WV  

Dear Lucky Racer,

We wanted to take a moment to reach out and tell you what we have been up to.  With the support of the Lucky Racer Scholarship, the Lucky Racer Board, and the coaches who have volunteered time and expertise we have begun racing USSA to see if Sierra had a path forward there.  To that ends we joined the Central Division and proceeded to race at Nubs Nob in Central and Snowshoe in SARA. 
Snowshoe:  Warm, windy and raining defined this trip.  We thought we may need a boat as road closures were imminent due to flash floods.  The rain and wind removed the powder WV had been enjoying and replaced it with a very hard and very fast surface on Widowmaker, a black diamond near Top of the World.  The format was 2 combined times in GS and 2 in Slalom with Sierra racing exclusively other U12 Females.  In the GS her times found her 3rd of 16 and in slalom she was astounded to place 1st of 15.      
Kris and Rich,   This is just our letter of thanks to you guys for helping us chase this dream.  

Thanks again,

The Hanley’s
