Snow Skills

Sugarloaf’s own Seth Wescott finished a disappointing 5th in the Men’s Boardercross event at the 12th Winter X-Games on Saturday, January 26.

Seth was favored to win the Boardercross event and held the early lead with an excellent move out of the starting gate. He was passed about a third of the way along the course by by Nate Holland, who held on to win the crash-filled event. Seth was later bumped from behind by one competitor and then knocked down by another.

In all, a rough and disappointing race for the Maine native. Winter X 12 was Seth’s 11th attempt at a X Games gold medal, but it wasn’t to be this year.
