While many high school skiers traveled to Fairbanks this weekend to brave sub-zero temperatures at the Besh Cup, some went to the Hillside trails and enjoyed warm sun followed by hot soup at the third annual Ski for Relief, a fundraiser for relief efforts in war-torn Burma and Sudan.
Victories went to Kenai skiers Jordan Theisen and Alexandria Bergholtz.
