This video is from the Ski Patrol Olympics in Squaw Valley, 2010.
The 2nd annual Ski Patrol Olympics will be held at Squaw Valley once again this year from April 27-28.
Events include a bomb throwing, bamboo-javelin tossing, GS race, randonee race, pulling-a-sled race, and a who-can-find-the-avy-beacon-fastest race. New this year is an avy dog competition. This will be really fun to watch for dog lovers.
You definitely wanna ogle at the pulling-a-sled race and you can do so from the bottom of the Cornice II bowl. A lounge and BBQ will be set up there.
I’m predicting Starship Zebulon to win the Randonee race right now.
