The NSWIS/SSA Mogul Team has made an impressive start to their international season, taking out gold and bronze in day one of the US Selection events in Steamboat, Colorado. Leading the way was 18-year-old Perisher skier Nicole Parks, who improved from second place in qualifications to claim victory ahead of Lane Stoltzner of the USA, with Park’s NSWIS team-mate Brittany Cox in third. NSWIS Head Coach Peter “Toppa” Topalovic was extremely happy of the girl’s performance. “The team has had a great training camp in Apex, Canada, which gave them a strong lead-in to the US Selection events”. “The result will give both girls confidence for the season and best of all they both are capable of further improvement in their competition runs and can lift their performance even further”. Brodie Summers was the leading male skier for Australia in 23rd place, with NSWIS team-mates Sam Hall and David Graham in 27th and 30th place respectively. The US Selection events are very competitive, with America’s best skiers competing for a chance to compete on the World Cup tour for the strong US team. Two more events will take place in Steamboat, with a singles and dual mogul event scheduled for later this week.
