Body Glove Lemon Squeezer Slalom Series - Round 1
Thirty-six skiers made the trip to Lake Hood for the first round of the Body Glove sponsored Lemon Squeezer Slalom series on the 7 November. Perfect conditions met the competitors and lasted well through the day until well into the final round when a fresh Westerly blew up. By then everyone had had the opportunity to extract their best from the Lake Hood Tournament Site.
