With the U12 IMD Championships quickly approaching, the SVSEF Alpine North Series Team held their 2-Run Pastry Cup Kombi race on Sunday. Kombi races are designed to teach the athletes how to manage rhythm and speed changes within a course. This weekend, the “funnel-shaped” course took the athletes from moguls to shorter “stubby” gates, into bigger giant slalom turns, then panel slalom, and finally regular slalom gates to the finish. Athletes were required to finish both runs to qualify for awards.

“It was a tough and long Kombi race out there on Sunday!” said Adele Savaria, SVSEF North Series Head Coach. “The athletes all showed true grit and persevered with their best efforts; and for the athletes racing in the upcoming IMD Championships, this gave them a good idea of what the Kombi will be like.”
