CONWAY — It was a big day for the valley's smallest ski area Saturday at the 15th annual Schneider Cup at Cranmore, as King Pine won both the overall team competition as well as the Carroll Reed Cup as the top snowsports industry team. Held as a fund-raiser for the Franconia-based New England Ski Museum, the event featured a field of 45 teams. The King Pine squad turned in a top combined team time of 2:38.30 to best Cranmore I's time of 2:39.43. Placing third in 2:40.42 were the Spoonatics. King Pine was comprised of Ben Drummond, Drew Drummond, Terry MacGillivray, Purity Spring Resort chef Trevor Tasker and Andrew Mahoney. Ben Drummond turned in the fastest time of the day of 30:38, fi nishing ahead of Alex Leich of the New England Ski Museum team's time of 30.36 and Skip Bartlett of Cranmore Team I's 31.27. Caite Zeliff of the ninth-place fi nishing Valley Originals had the fastest time among women, with a time of 31:61 — good for eighth overall. Finishing second among women was Kelli MacDonald of Cranmore I in 32:48, and Jess Dolan of the Eastern Slope Ski Club Board of Directors was third in 32:85.
The festivities Friday evening also featured performances by a team of seven Austrians performing Austrian folk dances led by historian Christof Thoeny of Hannes Schneider's hometown of Stuben am Arlberg,Austria. Winner of Saturday's vintage attire contest was Steve Briggs, followed by Jim Savoy and Nancy Varnum. The Rooster Spirit Award, named in honor of late Schneider Cup volunteer Doug “Rooster” Campbell, was presented to the young members of the “If Pink Pigs Could Fly” squad. John Nyland of the Red Jacket won the ice carving competition. In addition to Saturday's Schneider Cup Race, this year's events included a 20-person Randonee tour up and back down the mountain Friday night, and the third annual Nordic Marathon at Bretton Woods Saturday.
