Allison Jones of Colorado Springs leads the state’s contingent on the U.S. adaptive alpine ski team’s roster, which has its sights on podium finishes at the 2010 Winter Paralympics in Vancouver.
Jones is coming off two podiums in the 2009 World Cup campaign — and she also earned a silver medal in cycling at the 2008 Beijing Paralympics. Monica Bascio of Evergreen, who was second in the 2009 World Cup standings, was named to the adaptive cross country team.
Carl Burnett of Winter Park and George Sansonetis of Fraser were named to the men’s alpine “B” team.
