After a slow start due to weather conditions, your Sturgeon Bay Ski and Snowboard is off and running with the first two meets of the season occurring last week.  At the first meet, Senior Tristan Brilla led the way, winning the Christie Mountain boys snowboard competition and signaling his intention to return to the State meet in February.  Tristan finished third at Granite Peak later in the week.  Congratulations to Tristan on a great start to the 2024 snowboarding season!

 

Newcomer Mackensie Mclain has also impressed on the snowboard side of the hill in her first two meets, successfully completing 12 straight slalom and giant slalom courses to begin what is sure to be a storied high school career!

 

The Clipper Ski Team started their season in foggy conditions at Granite Peak on Thursday.  Senior Maddie Propsom and Sophomore June VanLieshout led the way for the Clippers overall with top 20 finishes, while Senior Julia Gregory also posted near team-best times in Giant Slalom and the Super G events. Sophomore Jordis Brilla looked great in her return to the slopes as well.

 

On the boys' side, the Clippers were led by Senior Ben Stephens who finished 22nd overall, including top 20 finishes in the Giant Slalom and Super G events.  

 

This week the mighty Clippers head all the way up to Bayfield County for their third meet of the season on Tuesday, and follow that up with a trip to Ski Brule this weekend.

 

Ski fast, have fun, Go Clip!
