Thompsonville, MI — Heading into Wednesday's two conference races the Scots were in third and 81 points behind Glen Lake and ended the day ahead of them to finish 2nd their first year in the Lake Michigan Ski Conference. The first race of the day set momentum that built info our conference's Championship race in the afternoon.
"Our skiers are really building momentum, every run seems to bring out an even better run to follow it and it is fun to watch. We are see the guys realize how fast they can be and everyone involved with our ski team is enjoying the excitement. Wednesday had a lot of challenges brought on by the warm temperatures and softening snow but our skiers prevailed."
