Skier of the Week: Western State Colorado University February 6 & 7

Mason on the first lap of the 21k, yes that is a DU skier right behind him!
It’s been a great start to the season for this young man! After joining us for 2 races at US Nationals he hasn’t had much of a chance to race but he sure made it count!

In the first race of the year Mason won the Prelim for the sprint and never looked back - winning the final with room to spare. 

He followed that performance with a solid 10km skate the next day. Skiing with the chase pack and fighting hard for a 4th place.

After just a few days between Mason came back out ready to rock! In the 21km Free he grabbed hold of the lead pack including 4 D-1 racers, Sam and Will. although he would lose the pack occasionally he kept fighting back. In the end he skied to a fantastic 7th place in the race and 3rd in the USCSA qualifier.

Despite being tired from the extreme energy output from the 21km Mason came out Sunday for one of his best events, the 5km Classic. He shot out of the gate with the will to win and never looked back. Despite a tough fight from Will, Mason skied strong and finished 9 seconds in the lead.

It’s been a fantastic start to the season for Mason Vincent and we’re looking forward to the rest of his season.


YOU ROCK YOUR WORLD!
