Gunbarrel 25 - Results
The annual Gunbarrel 25 was held at Heavenly Mountain Resort this past Saturday, April 5th. Many of this year’s champions are by no means new to the glory and fame that goes along with a Gunbarrel Title. Janez Demsar, the mens champ, has now won the event 4 years in a row. David Sannazzaro, who won the ironman award by completing 40 laps in the allotted 6 hrs, also won the same award last year.
These aren’t the only multi-title champions to walk away from this year’s event. Andre Villaret, who took the title in the experimental division this year, was the men’s ironman champion in 2005. Meeghan Flaherty won both the women’s division and the ironwoman competition, just as Shanti Koskinen achieved the same feat by taking 1st in the boys’ division and ironkid competitions. Jonathan Hirschfield also turned in a repeat performance by winning the snowboard division for the 2nd straight year.
