Show The Ogden Valley news Page 12 Volume XVIII Issue II July 1, 2010 Powder Mountain Hillclimb— Spectacular scenery and cycling The 2 nd Annual Powder M o u n t a i n Hillclimb benefitting the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance was held this past weekend. Although the weather delivered less than Junelike conditions, a spectacular cycling event took place. Sixty-eight riders lined up to tackle the sixmile, 3300 vertical foot bike race that started at the Wolf Creek Utah Resort and ended uphill at the Powder Mountain Lodge. One of the steepest bike rides in Utah, the race attracted some of the state’s best and most ambitious climbers. Competitors included professional road racer Alisha Welsh of the Peanut Butter & Co. Twenty 12 team and last year’s overall winner, Nathan Cisney of Roosters Cycling team. It didn’t take long for riders to spread out on this climb as it turned uphill sharply in the first mile. On the men’s side, Nathan Cisney broke away as part of an elite group of three riders. With each taking turns at the front, Cisney waited until the final mile or so to make his move. One of the riders was dropped and Cisney took his speed all the way to the top beating out his opponent by just a bike length. His time was good enough to take home the Tecia Stout Trophy, given to the racer with the fastest elapsed time up the mountain. Cisney finished in 42 minutes 14 seconds. Climbing is Alisha Welsh’s forte and she rode most of the race solo. “I love going up,” she said as she warmed up on her trainer. She won the Womens’s Pro, Cat 1/2/3 division in a time of 48 minutes. This year’s event also functioned as a fundraiser for the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance. A portion of the proceeds from the event went to support ovarian cancer research. The Tecia Stout Trophy was established to honor a local woman who lost her life to the disease. Regardless of the weather the 2nd Annual Powder Mountain Hillclimb was a great success and once again showcased some of the spectacular cycling and scenery Northern Utah has to offer. A huge thanks goes out to Diamond Peak Mountain Sports, Edge Composites, The Bike Shoppe, Peregrine Health, Roosters Brewing Co., Vitality Nutrition, Powder Mountain, Wolf Creek Utah, PROBAR, and Team Excelerator. SNOWBASIN cont. from page 1 planned with Morgan County to discuss any spillover impact from the Ogden Valley side of the development. One of residents’ major concerns for any Ogden Valley development is traffic and its pollution. Huffman said the resort is not planning any specific improvements to the interchange at Trappers Loop and Highway 39, but, along with the second entry point, the plan proposes several mitigation efforts to keep traffic down. Included in the plan are accommodations and other services, like shopping and entertainment on the mountain, to minimize trips by guests. The resort also is considering a variety of shuttle proposals to serve guests and employees.

Ragnar provides each racer with a high-quality “tech-t-shirt” with the custom Snowcrest–Ragnar logo. Each racer also receives a runner’s bag stuffed with “swag” and coupons from local businesses. Many businesses made this event a success. Of course, a special thank you goes to Tanner Ogden Mayor Matthew Godfrey said the city supports Snowbasin’s development plans. He said it’s great for the city and he doesn’t think the Morgan County entry will divert business from Ogden. But the Morgan County side of the development is still only a concept, as Morgan County Planning Director Grant Crowell said they haven’t seen any application or plans yet. He said he anticipates a submittal and knows the project will affect the county, but he can’t say what the extent of the development’s impact would be. As a small county, he said, working on a Note: This article is being reprinted by perproject of this size will tax its resources.
