It was "Blue Sky, Sunshine, Temps in the 20's, and Fast snow conditions" for a second day as skier arrived for the 10km Black Mountain Freestyle on March 1, 2020.

Ryan Harris and Denny Paull again fought each other to reach the podium but Harris held a comfortable lead from start to finish in this one, and a familiar podium it would be with Denny Paull in second. Mike Davis took 3rd place for an identical podium to the Black Mountain Classic. Finish times again indicated a fast course as Harris would conquer "The Beast" in 33:05 for one of the fastest times in the 8 year history of the event.

Mariah Frye-Colie demonstrating her nearly flawless skating technique, would earn the Women's overall victory in a time of 44:17. Lizzie Osteen earned the second spot on the podium, while Katie Damon took 3rd.

A heartfelt "Thank You" to all of the skiers who made the effort to support the Black Mountain Ski Club by skiing in these Black Mountain Races. We will hopefully be able to continue our volunteer grooming efforts at the mountain for another season.
