HURT Invades Holland Patent

Saturday morning HURT showed up to the Holland Patent Classic Race to be greeted by fresh snow and beautiful conditions. Kick wax was surprisingly tricky, with powder snow and temps in the high 20’s by race time. Most racers settled with Violet/VR 45 that “kind of/sort of” kicked. The course was a very fast double pole-fest, so fast skis trumped good kick.

HURT skiers took 2nd, 4th, and 5th overall (Yarsevich, Torniainen, Adam Luban) and also came home with SIX age group wins (Yarsevich, Torniainen, Adam Luban, T. Huneck, Ed Luban, Matti Torniainen). The Director, Aaron Huneck, also jumped into a Bill Koch race, after skiing approximately 50K beforehand doing timing splits and barking orders at his team on course. Nothing makes a HURT skier faster than seeing that menacing glare in the Director’s eyes.

Nice job to everyone there! Great job to Holland Patent for putting on a great race!
