Team Members head to 2011 World Cup

Shane Anderson and Cory Snyder, A Team members, are headed to the first round of World Cup Racing this season.  Joining them will be Regional Team members Maggie Doherty and Cole Schneider.  Lorin Paley, who has been living and training in Switzerland since October will not be competing as she has returned home for an evaluation of her knee that had surgery last spring.  She hopes to return to Europe for races later in the season.  Follow Lorin on her website.

The first two races will be held in Bad Hindelang, Germany on January 12 and 13 followed by a stop in Bohinj, Slovenia on the 15th and 16th.  The next week, the Brittish team will host races in Rauris Austria on January 21 and 22.

Anderson and Snyder plan to spend the season, or much of the season, in Europe and attend every race.  Anderson has said that this is his last year racing and wants to give it his all.  The Steamboat Today recently ran a story about Anderson and his goals for this year. READ STEAMBOAT TODAY STORY
