Younger skiers outrace older kids in morning slalom races at Alyeska

The younger skiers ruled the morning and the older skiers eked out victories in the afternoon Saturday at the Coca-Cola Classic at Alyeska Ski Resort.

The day featured two slalom races for girls and two for boys. In the morning races, overall titles went to U12 skiers Ali Boshell among the girls and Charlie Bland among the boys.

In the afternoon races, U14 skiers triumphed, with wins going to Lili Boshell and Carson Engstrom, who swept Friday’s giant slaloms in the race series.

Skiers contended with single-digit temperatures and ice fog at mid-mountain during the morning, but things cleared up by the afternoon.

The race series continues Sunday with competitions for older racers.
