2011 Craigmeur Club Race @ Pico

Mike Rachmiel — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 12:17:39 +0000

Well this past Saturday we had the annual Craigmeur ski club race @ Pico, Vt and we had a 61 racers. This year’s race was on ‘B” slope, which made the race more challenging then years past, but still a fun day. We had a threat of rain but the ski gods held the rain off until the race was completed by all. So thanks to all the racers for coming out and making the club race a big success.

The Barbecue was decide in the morning to be held at the lodge and let’s just say Oliver out did himself with burgers, dogs, chicken, pasta, ribs, pork loin, etc.. So a big thanks to Oliver!

NJSC STATE Race @ PICO

Mike Rachmiel — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 12:40:19 +0000

This past Saturday was the NJSC annual State race @ Pico, VT. CraigmeurÂ Race Team shined and had its best results ever, the Womenâ€™s teamÂ broke new ground by taking 1^st place by 35 seconds, the Menâ€™s teamÂ had an off day but still finished 4^th and combined 2^nd place finish.

Now some individualsÂ accomplishments; way to go Anneliese Yombor on taking 1^st place for the womenâ€™s for the 6^thstraight year not counting maternity leaves, Dawn Mazzanti taking 2^ndbehindÂ Anneliese and Kimberly Hollister for cracking the top 10 and taking 9^th, was it Kimberlyâ€™s ski rentalâ€™s for the day orÂ the 3 years of french fry turns, regardless she smoked some of the Men, counting yours truly. Chris Yombor as his 2^nd place finish and missing 1^st place by 2 seconds combine.

Also this past Saturday was the 3^rdannual Jr. NJSC race @ Pico. We had 5 jr. racers mostly rookies who braved the icy course on B-slope after the adults finished their 1^st GS run.

Some of the accomplished were, Meredith Hollister finishingÂ 2^ndin the girls class C division, in the boys class C division we had Jake Yombor taking 2^ndand Russell Hollister taking 3^rd. In the girls class B division we had Brianne Rachmiel taking 2^ndplace and Aaron Rachmiel the only snowboarder finishing 4^th in the boys class B division.

Overall I like thank all our the participates for showing up and support the Craigmeur race team, we had 4 Women & 9 Men race. Congrats to Eleanor Young on finishing her 1^st race, congrats to Justin Stone with his first NJSC state race, to our fearless leader Larry, hopefully next year youâ€™ll complete the course. To Rob & Craig who trained hard the day before better luck next year.

Looking forward to seeing everybody next year!.

Remember if you want to try racing, we still have two WRNL races @ Hidden Valley, February 10 SL and March 3Â both starting 7:30pm. Also save the date March 20, 2010 is the SSMMPR @ Hunter MT., the race is a Nastar race similar to our club race and we are looking for racers so Craigmeur can again flex their muscles and win the race. Look for more details later in the month but the fees are approx. $45 for lift ticket, race fee, party w/food & prizes and action picture of yourself racing.

SSMPR @ Hunter MT

Mike Rachmiel — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 12:42:50 +0000

This past Saturday March 21 was the 25^th annual SSMPR at Hunter MT., the weather was sunny and & warm and a perfect day to race and ski with friends. The Craigmeur team was small but well represented with Mr. Snow East Magazine â€œBillâ€, Larry, Mike, Jay, Kurt, Tracey and the rookie Amanda. Since the team was small we only placed 8^th out of 10 teams. We had only one individual award and that was to Amanda who took 3^rd in the under 12 class and was the hit of the race as everybody was cheering her on as she approached the finish line.

As the team did not clean up in the race awards but we did take home the grand prize in the drawing, as Tracey won a pair of twin tip skis. Congrats to Tracey and weâ€™ll look forward to see you on the free style team next year.

Thanks to everybody who woke-up at the crack of dawn and made the 2hr plus ride to participate in the race and just have fun!

Well that concludes our 2009 race season, so enjoy the spring & summer and see in the fall for the 2010 race season.

SSMPR @ Hunter MT.

Mike Rachmiel — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 12:37:30 +0000

The last race of the season was held at Hunter Mt. this past Saturday. It is hard to believe the season is over but all good things have to come to the end. Now we can move on to Bike Larry, Bike NY, Roy Yankees, Glen Jimmy Buffet, The Clam Bake and Don Pub crawl, just to mention a few upcoming events. We had 8 racers & 2 trainees get up early and drive the 2 hours for the annual SSMPR @ Hunter Mt. The weather was sunny and mid 30â€™s, the Mt conditions were very favorable for free skiing through the Mt. The race course was challenging as the rain from the beginning of the week make the hill some what icy between the gates.

Thanks to all!
