Burkies race GS at Okemo

Several BMA athletes had a successful day at Okemo on a day that didn't begin with a lot of promise after a night of rain and several days of above freezing temperature. Paige Lorenze won the race, while Parker Biele was 2nd overall and 1st U16. For the boys, Fredi Schneider placed 1st for U16 despite a hip check on the first run, with Will Beney in hot pursuit in 2nd for U16s. The snow was perfect for salting and held up quite well with enough ruts and bumps to provide the boys some character building. It was the first scored USSA race for several of the boys, and they came through with big move-ups in placings.
