Tabish competes in FIS University alpine races

Erin Tabish, 16, from Whitefish scored a great slalom result Feb. 22 at Bridger Bowl in a FIS University competition. The race, rescheduled from Alaska, allowed Tabish an opportunity to compete against a strong field of NCAA women.

Tabish started bib 42 and finished 34th with an excellent 107.02 point result. Her ranking going into the race was 130.49.

“This was a tough field of college age girls and the snow was not easy for anybody,” ski coach Dick Collins said. “Erin’s fiery determination gave her a particularly strong second run and she capitalized on a good opportunity to get a great result.”
