The Continental Divide Freeride ski and snowboard team sent two athletes to the International Freeskiers and Snowboarder’s Junior National Championships for Region 2 (North and South Americas) in Breckenridge last week.
Bradley Lamoreaux and Logan Lamoreaux both received invitations to the championship event after competing this winter in big mountain freeride events across Colorado and Utah.
The championship started with qualifying on April 8 on Breck’s Peak 7 and about half the competitors advancing to the finals on April 9, which was held on Breck’s Peak 6.
Both Bradley Lamoreaux and Logan Lamoreaux advanced through the qualifiers, with Bradley in sixth place in the U19s and Logan in fifth place in the U15 division.
Finals day was bright and clear with sunny skies for huge runs from the snowboarding competitors.
Logan Lamoreaux laid down a clean run with two big airs to hold on to his fifth-place position in the finals.
Bradley Lamoreaux navigated a tight technical section at the top of the peak to a huge cliff drop with a clean run out to bump him up into second place in the National Championship for U19.
With that amazing second-place finish in the championships and a consistent competitive season, Bradley Lamoreaux also earned third place overall in the 2023-2024 IFSA Region 2 Mens’ U19 Snowboard Series for the season. The top five athletes from the season are selected to compete in the Freeride Junior World Championships against athletes from across Europe and the Americas. He will be among that select group of athletes who will travel to Austria next season to compete.
