It was the
Individual Race today, in the Andorra Ski Mountaineering World Championships. The race was shortened a bit, due to poor weather, and a dumping of new snow. The race course although shortened, was everything a World Cup race course is expected to be, fast pace and painful. The Canadians dropped the hammer again, but the Spanish and French had an unbelievable pace, that we couldn't match Coming from North America where you will finish in the top ten, or top Tier, you will notice a big gap between the top Tier and you on the Wolrd Cup. A big congratulations goes out to Melanie Bernier again for coming 19th in the Womens division.
