2023 SUNDAY MORNING RACE SERIES BROCHURE
Picture of the Mt. Holly Race Hill. The hill is large and there are many people at the top which include ski racers and their coaches. There is a race shack, or small building at the top where racers stand, waiting to get the go ahead to begin racing down the hill. The slope is steep and snowy and there is one single ski racer racing down the hill past a red flag. They appear to be wearing a black racing suit and a green helmet. The sky is blue and it is a sunny day.
Picture by photographer Johnston Images of a ski racer. It is an image that was compiled from six different images that shows the progression of a ski racer making their way down a slope in a ski racing course. There is snow on the ground and the sky is bright blue. The ski racer is wearing a racing suit, helmet, and skis and is trying to make the best time they can in this race.
