Better Late than Never

Since the beginning, the HRT news team has always been on the very cutting edge of journalism and reporting.  In an age of 24 hour news cycles, live-timing, insta-photos and live feeds the HRT team is working tirelessly to pioneer the "week late" recap.  We try our best to report on happenings just as you are about to forget about them...

It was a big week to say the least.  the NYSSRA season wrapped up at Gore Mountain with a spectacular weekend at the Ski Bowl.  Expectations were low with a week of rain leading up to races but the team at Gore once again proved up to the challenge.  The course was amazing and both days had top caliber conditions.

Here is a quick recap of the races in CHAMPS BY THE NUMBERS:
