UPDATE: Results added. Stellar individual races at the 2011 TD Bank Bill Koch Festival wrapped up a very successful weekend for the Frost Mountain Crew in Ripton, Vermont.

What an amazing weekend - and the weather was no slouch, either! For day-2 of the TD Bank BKL Festival, Mother Winter brought low temps and fresh snow at night, and the grooming team at Rikert Touring Center delivered beautiful, packed powder tracks all day. For today's individual classic races, the waxing was easy - your choice of just-north-of Extra Blue for kick wax - and the lanes were lined with super fans.
Local photographer Pam Quinn captured the faces and scenery throughout the weekend. Visit her collection here.
The photos below were taken with a GoPro camera hidden in the fur of a festival fox.
