LMRT is pleased to announce that it has received a grant of $2,100 from the Killington World Cup Foundation (KWCF) to help keep our athletes safe! The funds will be used to replace aging safety equipment -- in particular adding to and replacing b-nets. The additional nets will be used to retire multiple nets that have aged out or been damaged and to enhance coverage and improve safety on the slopes particularly for our home Liberty Mountain GS race!

The Author with JunChao Prepping Ski Edges for Tussey By Staff Writer Ryan Berger It was the last race of the regular ski season, Tussey Mountain. When we got to the mountain, I took my skis to the snow, then went inside to get ready and register. We got our bibs and made our way to the top for inspection.

There was a smaller selection than The...
