Dear Sugar Bowl Academy Community,
Thank you everyone who joined us at Sugar Bowl on Saturday. We had a great morning in the sun! We are watching the weather daily and doing our snow dances, but like the weather, our schedule this week is unsettled. See below for the current plan for the week. Thank you for your flexibility and patience as we try to find opportunities for our athletes to ski and ride. We will keep you updated as we have more information to share.
Sincerely,
Stephen
Executive Director

FIS Athletes Compete at Norquay
Although the season is delayed at Sugar Bowl, it has not stopped our athletes from competing. Our FIS Men and Women’s teams competed in Norquay earlier this month, with Lucas Ottoni finishing 2nd in U18 in slalom. SBA had three men in the top 20 overall, and FIS Men’s Coach Matej Vidovic finished 1st in both slalom races.
Sophie Skytta had an 8th and 9th place finish overall for the women.
