Hunter Eid turned a dicey moment into a happy homecoming Wednesday on the slopes at Alyeska Ski Resort.
Eid, a 20-year-old from Anchorage who trains in Idaho, survived a shaky moment on his first run but recovered to collect gold and silver in a pair of men’s giant slalom races at the FIS Western Region Tech Series.
A third-generation Alaskan — his dad, Marc, skied for UAA, and his grandfather, Karl, created the ski jumping facility at Hilltop Ski Area — Eid trains with the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation team in Idaho.
