King of the Hill is the final race night for the adult corporate race league. This is not part of the regular season and is a special race following the finals costing each racer an additional ten dollars. Competition was fierce as the race is open to all corporate racers from every night which includes the higher competition Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday night racers. Instead of the usual Nastar course, King of the Hill is a top to bottom minute long giant slalom style course that could almost meet the requirements for a FIS course lay out. Much more my preference compared to the straight line Nastar courses typical of Pat’s Peak corporate race leagues.

Unfortunately, I was running late due to work and drew a very high seed number. With snow conditions being solid, fast, and firm, this meant the course was entirely scraped down by my first run and my second run was a sheet of ice. My times were surprisingly middle of the pack, not bad considering the fierce competition from the GS suits. But a far cry from my potential had I had freshly tuned and sharpened skis and a better seed number. Still a fun night overall and great way to end the race league portion of the ski season.
