William Dexter, Reilley Anderson and Johannes Liaboe have qualified for the Western Region U16 Championships at Mammoth Mountain taking place March 16-20. This prestigious event brings athletes together from the five divisions of the Western Region. Each athlete qualified for the championships based on their results in the three U16 Qualifier series that have taken place in PNSA this season (January races at Mt. Spokane, and February races at Mt. Hood Skibowl and Mt. Bachelor). William, Reilley and Johannes were three of only 19 men to be selected to the event. We wish them the best of luck as they represent SSRA and PNSA in California.
Isabell Simpson and Ben Lewis qualified for the U16 Can-Am races at Panorama, BC taking place March 17-20. Once the U16 Championships selection was completed, a second selection process determined 7 PNSA men, and 7 PNSA women to compete in this event. This has been a very fun and competitive event in the past and we wish Isabell and Ben good luck as they head north of the border to compete!
