19th Annual St. Barnabas Burn Center Benefit
New Jersey Firefighters' Ski Race
was February 24, 2006 at Hidden Valley

On the same day that Julie Mancuso won a giant slalom gold medal for the USA at the Turin Olympics, Kinnelon V.F.C.'s ski racers nailed down a 20th place ranking out of 54 teams in competition at Hidden Valley ski area.

After the Olympic finish, Ms Mancuso, in an interview, said"...all I had to do was to ski fast to the bottom!"

Yeah! Right!








The Kinnelon team carded a 34.51 second run for 20th place. Clifton won the race with 24.09 seconds. Riverdale, bouncing back from last year's "DNF", placed second with 25.91 seconds. Rockaway-Hibernia placed third with 26.35 seconds.
