32nd Annual Laura Flood Memorial Race
February 24, 2023 - February 26, 2023,
Held each year, the Laura Flood Memorial Race holds a special place in the ski racing and local community. Flood lost her life during a ski training accident at 19 while racing for the University of Colorado. The race is made possible through the entire community’s efforts—the Flood family, coaches, volunteers, families, athletes and Sun Valley Resort.
At the conclusion of the weekend, the Laura Flood Memorial Race Perpetual Trophy is presented to the top U16 female and male skiers after two giant slalom and one slalom race. In 2022, Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation’s Lowie Watkins took the overall win for the women and Romark Ski Academy’s Karsten Schillinger won on the men’s side.
