This includes U12s (birth years 2013, 2014) and U10s (2015, 2016).

In men’s slalom, Park City’s Bronson Karr, a second year U12, came in second, followed by Nate Snyder, who also lives in Park City and skis for PC-based Alpine Racing Collective (ARC).

The Park City Ski & Snowboard Team swept the podium in women’s slalom.

In the men’s GS, Parkite Banks Antablin, who skies for the Snowbird Sports Education Foundation Team, stormed to the win and his teammate – first-year U12, Forest Knight, also of Park City, took second place. Snowbasin’s William Andrasko took third place.
