SUNDAY RACES AT ALPENTAL RAINED OUT

Today's Northwest Collegiate Ski Conference slalom qualifiers at Snoqualmie Summit-Alpental have been postponed due to rain.

According to College of Idaho head coach, Ron Bonneau, temperatures on the hill were at 40-degrees at 8 a.m. this morning, with moderate rain, turning the course into a sloppy mess - dangerous for ski racing.

The qualifier will not be made up - as the teams will turn to giant slalom runs next weekend at Mount Spokane Ski Area.
