EDWARDS — Aspen claimed both the boys and girls state skiing championships on Friday behind outstanding individual performances which saw the programs claim six individual championships in the eight events.
And on Friday, that meant the Weiss siblings — Elsie and Anders — repeated their feat from Thursday when the brother-sister duo claimed the nordic events. This time, they each won the skate.
It helped Aspen’s boys win a third-straight state title, and 10th overall. The Skiers amassed 667 points, ahead of second-place Battle Mountain (620). Middle Park was third with 579, Steamboat Springs (555) was fourth and Evergreen (484) was fifth.
The Aspen girls won for the third time in six years, and ninth overall. They totaled 674 points. Battle Mountain (607.5 points) was second, Summit (561) was third, Middle Park (533.5) was fourth, and Steamboat Springs (530) placed fifth.
Aspen’s Charlie Olsen won boys slalom event, recording the fastest time in each run. His combined time of 1:20.6 led the field, and earned him a state title. Battle Mountain’s Will Bettenhausen was second (1:21.57), and Durango’s Toby Scarpella, who won the giant slalom on Thursday, was third in 1:22.08.
Overall, Aspen continued its strong alpine showing with five races among the top 11 finishers.
The boys race had 17 racers who didn’t finish the first run, two who didn’t start, and another seven who were disqualified. Eight more didn’t finish the second run, and three more were disqualified. In total, 64 of the original 101 entrants finished both runs.

Snyder’s win paced an impressive performance from Summit in the event, which placed four among the top 11.
