Though the Aspen Skiers girls Nordic and Alpine ski teams took home the 2021 Colorado High School Ski League overall girls state championship, the Tigers Alpine girls racers were the No. 1 team Friday. Skiing at Loveland Valley, Summit’s Snyder sisters won each of the day’s races, with freshman Ella Snyder winning the giant slalom and junior Olyvia Snyder repeating as slalom state champion. ....

Racing on a warm day on the long Bear Trap giant slalom course at Beaver Creek Resort, Cheek finished in fifth place, followed by Tiger teammates Gavin Masters (13th), Jackson Campbell (20th) and Wyatt Huston (21st).
