World Pro Ski Tour, Waterville Valley Gets Ready

The World Pro Ski Tour (WPST) will host the Eastern Pro Championships, its fourth race of the season, at Waterville Valley Resort in New Hampshire March 14-15, 2020. The race will feature the best dual-format alpine racers in the world, including World Championships silver medalist, Phil Brown, current Tour leader and NCAA Champion, Robert Cone, winner of the last Tour stop and former US Ski Team member, Michael Ankeny, and World Cup racers including Linus Walch, Magnus Walch, and Adam Zampa.

Race weekend will kick off with a Tito’s Handcrafted Vodka Welcome Reception at Waterville’s Coyote Grill on Friday, March 13, 2020. Join the WPST athletes for autograph signings, Tito’s giveaways and more from 8:30-10:00 PM. New to the Tour at this stop is participation of sponsor Reven Pharmaceuticals, who will join Tito’s, Tuff Shed, Surefoot, Sync Performance, Sinner and more for the remaining 2020 races, which are sure to be exciting.

“There were a lot of upsets at our last race in Colorado,” says Jon Franklin, CEO of the WPST. “US Ski Team veteran, Michael Ankeny, took his first WPST victory when he out-skied current Tour leader Rob Cone, and heavy hitters like double-Olympic gold medalist, Ted Ligety and last year’s Tour winner, Phil Brown, were eliminated in early rounds. It will be interesting to see what happens as we travel east for the next two races.”
