Zander Martin killing it in Saturday's race

Several BKL skiers contested Frost Mountain Nordic’s great season-ending Gran Prix. This international event gives kids opportunities to test themselves against the region’s best – including Canadian skiers!

Craftsbury was ably represented this weekend by six racers in the following categories:

2003 birth year girls – Quincy Massey Bierman
2002 boys – Jack Young
2001 boys – Zander Martin and Griffin Wright
