During the winter, Lucas and Landon Allenby’s freeskiing skills have paid off in heavy weight when it comes to medals coming back to Greenfield.
The eighth-grade twin brothers spent their entire winter catching air and doing tricks at various events participating in the USASA Southern Vermont Series (SVS).
At the SVS event at Okemo Mountain Resort held over the weekend, Landon Allenby brought home a gold medal in the halfpipe. But he wasn’t done there, as he brought home a silver in slopestyle, rails and the halfpipe.
Lucas Allenby took home the bronze in the second halfpipe. Over the course of the winter, Lucas and Landon Allenby have combined for over a dozen medals at various events for the Southern Vermont Series. Landon Allenby was the Southern Vermont Series champion in the halfpipe last season.
The twins do most of their training at Carinthia Parks at Mount Snow in West Dover, Vt. After regional competition comes to a close, they will head to Nationals at Copper Mountain in Colorado. The event, which begins in April, can be live-streamed.
