The Goats hit the slopes Tuesday for their first competitive ski race which was cut short due to foggy weather. Despite uncontrollable difficulties, younger members of the team skied well at the Category B SGIS ski race in Morgins. The second run was cancelled due to heavy fog so racers had to rely on their first run for rankings. The boys narrowly missed the podium by just a few points. Valentin Sigrist had the team’s best result, finishing in 6th place overall. The full team will compete this Sunday, Jan. 31st at the SGIS Championships in Villars.
