Final Standings
The GDHL Results page has the final standings for the 2026 season.
Congratulations to our team winners:
1st Place: Team Chute (Team Owner: Kristen Peerenboom)
2nd Place: Team Porcupine (Team Owner: Tony C and consortium)
3rd Place: Team Funnel (Team Owner: Katie Fasken)
All team owners, consortium members, and racers that participated in the buy-back for the above teams will have their Craigleith accounts credited in the next few days.
Congratulations to all our racers. Check out the GDHL.org/results page to see how you and your rival finished up.
The reason for the delay between the Awards Party and the Results site being updated was due to a recalculation of points for the season. There was an error found in the Ski Cross race data, which affected points for some racers, which affected the overall standings. All points and results have been updated and verified. We apologize for the delay.
The recalculation affected the finish order of the Top 3 teams above. The Awards Party announced Porcupine as the winner, when in fact Chute is the championship team.
Bibs
If you have not yet returned your bib, please return to the race office. We really need them for next year!
Thanks again to Riopelle Veer Real Estate Group for their support of our bibs!
Any lost bibs will incur a $200 replacement charge.
Goodbye 2026 Season…
Thanks again for a wonderful GDHL season. See you all in 2027!
