Making it 3 years in a row, Neko took the win here at Snowshoe! However, it was an incredibly close battle, with the top 5 pro men all within 1 second. Phil Kmetz stormed down the mountain sliding into 2nd, while Kiran Mackinnon held it wide open for a 3rd.
In the Junior Expert battle, Charlie Harrison took yet another GRT win over 15 years Nik Nestoroff and Steven Walton. 2nd place finished at Nationals, Andras Simon took a mighty crash through the middle rock garden as you can watch in the video.
Jill Kintner had her closest race of the year with Camila Nogueira flying in from Argentina to take a speedy 2nd place. Kristen Courtney rounded out the top 3 not too far off pace.

Too much caffeine I suppose.
And perhaps the culture is just different enough down here that nobody wants to drive anywhere?
@Petair75: The WC crew does a good deal of travelling and could easily muster Snowshoe. People could come in to Richmond and have a 4 hour drive. A lot better then the 9 hour stretch between Gatwick and Ft Bill. Of course, the smart crew flies into Edinburgh or Glasgow, but that's still 3 hours. If you are going to whine about 3 hours then you'll whine about 4, but these guys are OK with it apparently.
and yes WV tourism, you can use that
