Loppet a Huge Success

LOPPET A HUGE SUCCESS

The annual Sun Valley Ski Club Billy Goat Loppet sponsored by Backwoods Mountain Sports was once again held this past weekend, Saturday, January 22nd, at the Billy’s Bridge cross country venue. Over 90 racers turned out to ski the rolling hills of this popular area set beneath the scenic beauty of the Boulder Mountains. Skies were mainly clear for the race, but a chilly, head wind persisted. Many thanks to Hammer Nutrition, Perry’s, Tully’s and Clear Creek Disposal and to all those who helped to make this race so very successful. The top three overall men were Jon Engen, Sam Young and Steve Klatt. Top three overall women were Brooke Hovey, Elizabeth Youngman and Muffy Ritz.
