Administrators ROBOT Posted June 14, 2018 Administrators Share Posted June 14, 2018 The first annual Lake 38 Pro-Am, held outside of Tallahassee, FL on June 9 -10th was the stage for an epic slalom battle between two top Syndicate pro skiers: Jon Travers & Will Asher. Coming into the finals, Travers had two rounds of 2 @ 41′off/36mph under his belt in Saturday’s preliminary rounds. His scores propelled him in joining fellow Syndicate teammates Beny Stadlbaur & Will Asher who along with 3 other skiers ran 3 @ 41′off going into the 8-man final round on Sunday. Unlucky for Jon, the early finals seeds faced heavy rain that tapered off as the finals drew out. Undeterred by the rain, JT doused a pair of wood-working goggles, strapped on his Syndicate ski and put out a massive 4 @ 41′off, the top score of the weekend. As the finals drew on, Travers remained atop the leader-board as skier after skier failed to match his huge score. That was until fellow Syndicate teammate Will Asher stepped to the course. Blazing his own 4 @ 41′off, Asher tied JT for the lead, forcing a run-off for the Lake 38 Pro-Am title. After suiting back up and losing the coin-flip, Travers wowed onlookers by running a cold 39.5′ off the dock. Having not skied in over 45 minutes(5 skiers), running his 39 off pass with no warm ups stood as a tall task for Jon. However, skiing just inside of 4 @ 41′off, ending with a runoff score of 3 @ 10.25m,Travers showed no sign of rust. Asher, running his cold 39.5′ couldn’t quite match Travers 41′off score, conceding victory to his Syndicate teammate. Congratulations to Jon Travers on the well-deserved win, Asher on his hard-fought 2nd place, and also to Stadlbaur(6th) on his big 3 @ 41 prelim score & Matteo Luzzeri (9th) on his 5 @ 39. Shoutout to Lake 38 on their first Pro-Am event and all who made it happen! You can check out the full Lake 38 Pro-Am webcast HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
