USSMA RANDONNEE TEAMS RACE


They're off and racing!!



Jared Inouye and Brain Harder going out fast from the start.


The team Randonnee race was held yesterday at Grand Targhee Resort with 19 -2 person teams racing up and down the mountain. The race division course climb more than 4500' and the recreation course climbing 2500'. The race had a new course layout due to slides off the top of Peaked in the previous weeks. A new boot pack up Toilet Bowl chute added a new and difficult climb to this year course, which all the racers seem to enjoy the steeper climb, but a little shorter overall course length.
