More than 25 inches
of fresh snow fell Saturday, welcoming the 2004 Dave
Spencer Ski Classic to Durango Mountain Resort. Twenty-nine
teams competed in the annual Adaptive Sports Association
fund-raiser, earning $45,000 for the program. Mother
Nature provided pristine ski conditions and teams of
lavishly costumed racers created the celebratory atmosphere.
A multitude of awards were presented at the postrace
ceremony Saturday night, including the “Wild Wheelie,”
which went to Cole Martens for the hottest mono/bi-skier;
and the “Body Beater,” which went to Sandra
Renfro for best wipe-out.
