Just a month before from the World Championship Hill Climb at Snow King, local sledding athletes gave heed up Phillips Canyon last weekend they’re in the race for the ultimate King of the Mountain.
During the three-day Afton Hill Climb above Grover Park, some 600 entries from junior and amateur to semi-pro and pro pared down to the final day of competition on Sunday. Such noted local sledders as Andy Thomas, Luke Rainey, Justin Thomas – to name a few – ran the gauntlet, with Justin Thomas winning the coveted title of “modified” King of the Mountain.
