The University of Colorado/Spencer Nelson Invitational at Eldora was postponed Sunday because of unsatisfactory ski racing conditions, race officials said.
“There were unfavorable snow conditions that were putting skiers in a little bit of danger,” CU coach Richard Rokos said. “We wanted to put a fair race on. We are obligated to excellence and in terms of putting on a race, that rule absolutely applies.”
The plan is to run the slalom races for the CU Invitational Friday before the start of the Denver Invitational at Winter Park. A final decision is expected in the following two days. If that plan doesn’t work, the races will be made up later this season in Alaska or Montana.
