The U15 Mogul skiers spent their week-end in Telluride where they put in a fantastic showing. Skiing a firm, challenging course, the Team showed perseverance and grit, working through crashes and injuries. All five Team Steam athletes came home with a ribbon. Ella Walker took the win with some mogul-rash on her face to show for it! Ava Rose earned 3rd, Anabel Ayad 5th, Katie McGlaflin 6th and Freddie Mickell placed 2nd in the boys. The Team has the next few weeks for training before the next comp in Vail.
