Londonderry Teen Qualifies for Regional Ski Championship

Jaiden Evarts during the races last Sunday, January 22, 2012.

Londonderry resident and Inventioneers member Jaiden Evarts, 14, recently found herself a new title as she blazed into the New Hampshire Alpine Racing Association’s USSA Regional Championship. Evarts claimed a spot for herself in the regional competition after an impressive finish in the J3 ski racing division on January 22, 2012 at Crotched Mountain in Bennington, New Hampshire.

Evarts has skied for the McIntyre Race Team in Manchester since 2004 and had just earned a second place trophy at the Cote Open race at Ragged Moutain in Danbury on January 8. She and her coach, Steve Diers, were excited to learn Evart was announced as a qualifier for the regional competition.

The Regional Championships will be held at Wildcat Mountain on February 22 for the slalom event and at Cranmore Mountain on February 26 for the giant slalom course. The top qualifiers from these events will go on to compete in the Junior Olympics.

Skiing is a family affair for the Evarts, as Jaiden’s sister Bryeton, also a McIntyre Race Team member, earned eighth place in the Cote Open race. Brother Tristan skis for the Londonderry High School Race Team and has earned fourth and eighth place finishes in the first two races of the high school division race season.

Martin Srugis: No, I would not. My son was in MT when it held a 1,000+ kids. At the time I voted against Moosehill. Didn’t think it was worth building because of a temporay bulge in student...
Rick: If Londonderry teachers are the top 20 percent pay in the state. Why are the NECAP scores so poor?? Best pay best teachers?? That = No Vote.
