This past weekend featured a few record tournaments in the South East. Fellow Connelly Skiers Jamie Beauchesne and Daniel Ordvako were on hand to use this opportunity to get some scores in. Jamie made it to 3@41 in all three rounds, scoring 2.5 twice and a full three in the final round. Daniel had a few great starts at 39, with a top score of 3.5@39.
Here's some pictures from the event:
Left NH on March 29th and took the slow road south, through Boone and Ashville, NC. Just arrived in Chattanooga, found a place to live, and here we are. Water skiing, climbing, biking, and guess who showed up a few days ago – Wade Williams! 11 sets on the water, 4 sessions climbing, and 4 rides on the single track…. Not a bad month!
Check back for some vids…
