Considered a legendary“beer racing league” competition at Nubs Nob Ski Area, it's been around for 40 years with a waiting list to compete. According to General Manager, Ben Doornbos,“the league is highly competitive in the community, so it's a big deal for Team BumSkis who skied well and showed continuous improvement with the results speaking for themselves,” he said.
Although the BumSkis started out slow coming in 10th place, week 1, the team steadily improved to first place by week 5. With the last weeks rained out, they won with a 3-point margin of victory scoring 116.5 points.
Birchwood Golf & Country Club BumSkis Co -Captain, Tom Varner said they were competing with“smokin fast racers who compete in high school, college, and are state champions and racing coaches who have been in this league for years.”
The Nub's Nob/Bahnoff Ski Racing competition included 14 teams with 168 racers each night racing three nights a week for typically 6-8 weeks with a total of 450 racers participating in the league.
BumSkis Co-Captain Sherman Hanna recalled when he and Tom started their team two years ago.“It was just a wild dream to think we'd be on the podium, let alone in first place,” said Hanna.
“I'm proud to be a part of this team. The excitement, enthusiasm, and camaraderie are another example of the wonderful Birchwood community spirit,” he exclaimed.
