Peek'n Peak Resort

Quad skiing event finally set after many postponements

From staff reports, Erie Times-News

 
After seven postponements, the Highmark Quad Ski Race and Snowshoe will take place at 1 p.m. Sunday at Peek'n Peak Resort and Spa's Upper Course.

Aaron Garrity, who won the most recent Quad Games event -- the 5-mile run, held in September -- is in first place overall going into the ski event, the final event of the 30th anniversary Quad Games.

Pamela McCormick, who won the women's 5-mile run, is the overall women's leader and the four-time defending overall Quad Games champion.

Dan Pierce, who was atop the men's standings heading into the 5-mile run, is the defending men's champion and has won the men's competition three out of the past four years.

Jim Samuels holds the men's record in the ski race, finishing in 17:58 in 2001, while Debbie Mizikowski is the women's record holder, winning in 1999 with a time of 21:06.

Last year's ski race was postponed because of poor snow conditions, marking the fourth time the race had been canceled since 1995. The event has never been canceled two straight years.

This year's awards presentation will take place April 7 at the Erie Art Museum.
