The competitors each skied two runs and were scored two-thirds based on
skiing and one-third based on air, with the best run counting towards
final results. The Mad River Glen freeride team dominated the men's
alpine division by sweeping the top six places. Tom Licata of Burlington
grabbed the gold, Dylan Dipentima took silver and Carson Barbour
snatched bronze.
The Sugarbush Diamond Dogs equally dominated the women's division as
their coach Ashleigh Bergstrom took home first place followed by fellow
coach Liana Sideli. Their 12-year-old protégé, SJ Grundon, finished hard
on their heels finishing in third place.
The men's telemark division was won by GMVS Nordic coach and former
Triple Crown telemark champion Justin Beckwith. Vertical Challenge
champion Tim Shepard of Fayston took second place and another former
Triple Crown champ, Dave Bouchard of Hinesburg, grabbed the bronze.
The final leg of the Triple Crown is the Unconventional Terrain
competition to be held on Saturday, March 27. Visit www.madriverglen.com
