Hello Ski Fans,

What a fun week! Thanks to all who helped out at our Saturday Classic Event. Fern Creek really came alive with skill development and Fun. The results from the Time Trial are pretty interesting and available below. There are some skiers who could improve in the down hill portion of ski racing.
