2022 NW Cup #3 - Tamarack, ID

June 24-26 brought the NW Cup to beautiful Tamarack Resort in Idaho for Round 3 of the 2022 series.  As always, the resort hosted the race with gorgeous, sunny weather, dry trails, and rocks....lots of rocks.  With our first lift-served race of the season, riders were able to get plenty of practice runs in, and then plenty of fun laps in the rest of the day.  Deschutes Brewery hosted our Friday night get-together with great beer, a cornhole tournament, and raffle from all of our amazing sponsors.  At the end of the weekend, Julia Lofqvist Traum and Asa Vermette took the Jr. X wins with Taylor Ostgaard and Cole Suetos taking the pro wins.
