Freeskiing

This weekend four SSWSC Freeski athletes went to Copper to compete in a USASA slopestyle competition. It was the first USASA slopestyle for Ryan Montgomery, Branigan Murphy, and James Zarlengo and the second for James Mathey. Every athlete was able to land a complete run and show off multiple directions of spins. James Mathey slid his first down-flat-down rail. James Zarlengo had a clean and creative rails section. Branigan Murphy spun 360s to the left and right. Ryan Montgomery showed three directions of spins with a switch left 3, switch right 5, and left 7. The team will be finishing up the season with a last USASA Halfpipe competition hosted here in Steamboat, in Bashor Bowl this Sunday, March 13th.
