Scuderia Gonzo Alonzo Snowboard racing report


#1

I have been out in Winter Park CO for 3 weeks, conditions have been the worst in the past 30 years. I have been running the NASTAR slalom racing series, was ranked as high as 2nd in the the US in the 40-44 age group, currently ranked 4th but slipping as more folks qualify for national points. I am riding my all mountain board, trying to rent an Alpine board for a couple of days so I can be more competitive…I am fastest in all age categories at this resort except for one 25 year old, plan on changing that this week also…Hoping to race at Steamboat Springs and Copper, then in mid Feb will move down to SW CO and run Durango/Purgatory Mtn. This is sort of a test run for next year, will get some better equipment and will move up an age category and hopefully run for the national championship. Ranger has been out this weekend, he and his buddy Andrew have stayed out of trouble although ranger’s ski boot did disintegrate in the lift line, something I have never seen. He left his boots next to a trash can, they were still there the next day, a fox had come down to check them out, the smell apparently prompted the fox to take a dump beside them, I have photo’s…

Yall have fun at CMP, expect some news from Malt Liquor Tech Racing in the next day or so.

When did the Special Olympics add snowboarding as an event? I must have missed that announcement.

Good Luck Al - Bring home the Gold!!
