GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.- The Maverick Ski Invitational has brought seven colleges from Colorado and Wyoming to the slopes of Powderhorn for the first time to compete for the weekend.

The skiers participate in two runs both Saturday and Sunday and combine the times to see who wins.

"Hopefully we get some more interaction with the athletes that we have in the Grand Valley, so we can end up having somebody on the US ski team some day," said Sam Williams, mountain operations manager.

Officials say, this is the first major race of three that will be held at Powderhorn, and they hope to continue holding big races.

Officials encourage people to go and watch the races from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. Sunday.
