Snowmass NORBA roundup

Besides being the site of a clinic in winning by Shonny Vanlandingham and Geoff Kabush, the Snowmass NORBA was also the site of the first Australian win in men’s downhill since Chris kovarik won at Snowshoe in 2003 when Joel Panozzo (WTB-Fox) took top honors.

In women’s short-track, Dara Marks-Marino (Ford/Specialized) won her first-ever NORBA event.

Snowmass was also a qualifying event for the U.S. Mountain Bike National Championships. The top-ten finishers in every pro race qualified to compete in the Mammoth Mountain, California national championships race (Sept. 15-18, 2005).
