SPEED AND GUTS COMBINE FOR A DIFFERENT KIND OF WORLD CHAMPION AT ANGEL FIRE RESORT

Angel Fire, New Mexico, Feb. 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  

ANGEL FIRE, NM - (February 10, 2019) – Hundreds of spectators and daredevils converged on the slopes of Angel Fire Resort ( www.angelfireresort.com) a New Mexico ski resort, this weekend, as competitors of all ages waxed up their snow shovels for the 40 th Annual Angel Fire World Championship Shovel Races.  

 

The annual challenge is fairly simple. Competitors sit on the scoop of a standard aluminum snow shovel, handles pointed downhill, and then lift their hands and feet to allow gravity to take them for a ride. Each rider gets two shots to clock the fastest time down the front of the Angel Fire ski mountain. Top speeds regularly exceed 60 miles per hour.
