This past weekend, Deep Creek Winter Sports Team (DCWST) athletes posted an impressive sweep of results at home race Giant Slalom at Wisp Resort and at a Slalom race away at Hidden Valley Resort in Pennsylvania.

At Hidden Valley, DCWST athletes swept the bronze podium across the board: for females, U12 Brady Guidera, U14 Arden Braun, and U16 Isla Norrington, and for males, U12 Vale Braun and U14 Eliot Eckel.

At Wisp, DCWST female athletes received a podium placement: U8 Kearney Guidera silver, Abigail Furer bronze; U10 Sawyer Guidera gold; U12 Brady Guidera gold; U14 Emma Easterday bronze; and U18 Avabella Perfetti gold.

For males: U10 Kai Diffenderfer gold; U12 Vale Braun gold, Jason “JJ” Bergin silver; and U14 Eliot Eckel silver.

This was the last qualifying event for the State Championships hosted at Ski Roundtop, Seven Springs, and Blue Mountain Pennsylvania in the coming weeks for U12-U16 athletes.

U16 and older athletes have the opportunity to participate in a series of 8 races that make up the Pennsylvania (Pa.) Cup series.

Three races were held this past weekend at Blue Mountain: Super G, Giant Slalom (GS), and Slalom (SL). Gavin Nolan, Trent Bray, Chase Desjardins, Abigail Mullin, Alexa Hester, Isla Norrington, and Kara Opfer represented the DCWST in select races — notably, Isla Norrington finished in second place in the U16 category in Super G and U16 Trent Bray finished first in SL.

Bray was in fourth place for U16s in the GS when the call was made to cancel the second run due to extreme wind.
