Event Strengths & Weaknesses7•This event exposes these young athletes to snowsports competitions and starts a lifelong passion for winter snowsports. We hope this event is memorable and when these athletes grow up and maybe move out of the area, they will always want to come back and visit because of their fond memories from their childhood•This event always exceeds expectations as it is a free event and it’s another opportunity to showcase Ski & Snowboard Club Vail•We could increase our advertising reach to a broader area to attract more competitors•With a slower start to the season, we had to postpone the first scheduled Giant Slalom race to a later date. This ultimately didn’t affect the event, but we are subject to mother nature and need to be adaptable. Overall the event was a great success
