Wyoming High School Skiing Scoreboard: Jan. 11-13, 2024
The Wyoming High School skiing weekend will be less busy than originally planned this weekend. Alpine skiers were set to make their season debut, but due to the extremely cold weather forecast in Casper, they will have to wait for another week. Nordic skiers are in Jackson this weekend. Some will be competing in a high school race, while others will compete in a Junior National Qualifier. This is officially Week 4 of the high school skiing season.
WYOMING HIGH SCHOOL SKIING SCHEDULE ON JAN. 11-13, 2024
Alpine Skiing
Downhill skiers started practice back in mid-November before the Thanksgiving holiday. They were supposed to be skiing Thursday and Friday at Hogadon Basin to start the season, but a decision was made on Wednesday to postpone the weekend to Jan. 25 and 26, 2024. That means, if the weather holds, the season will begin next weekend with the Laramie Invite at Snowy Range Ski Area.
Nordic Skiing
Cross-country skiers will be splitting up in Jackson this weekend. There is a high school race on Friday and Saturday. It is the Trail Creek Invitational at Trail Creek Nordic Center at Wilson, just west of Jackson. Friday is a 5km skate or freestyle race with a mass start at 11 a.m. The varsity girls will ski first, followed by the varsity boys, and then JV. Saturday is a 5km classic race beginning at noon. Skiers will start the race in intervals. Varsity boys will ski first, then varsity girls, and JV.
Also at Jackson is the Johnny Curtis Memorial JNQ 2024. It’s an Intermountain Junior National Qualifier race for U10-U20 athletes on Saturday and Sunday. The race on Saturday is a classic discipline. U16, U18, and U20 skiers will compete in a 5km between 9 a.m. and noon. Younger levels will compete after the high school race. Sunday is a freestyle race that is 10km for U18 and U20 athletes and 5km for U16 athletes.
Skiers will choose which competition they will race in, either the high school races or the JNQ. They cannot do both.

Guest Column: Innovation and Integrity — The… | Cowboy State Daily
Dear Citizens of Cheyenne,
Recent discussions about our campaign have sparked important conversations about Cheyenne’s future. We welcome this opportunity to clarify our vision and reaffirm our commitment to our beloved city.
Pioneering Progress, Not Spectacle Our campaign is not a “stunt” or a “circus,” but a serious, forward-thinking approach to civic leadership.
Vic Miller is the legal candidate for mayor, fully compliant with Wyoming law. VIC (Virtual Integrated Citizen) is an advanced AI tool designed to enhance decision-making, not replace human judgment. This distinction is crucial.
By exploring the integration of AI in local governance, we’re not making Wyoming a “national joke.” Rather, we’re positioning our city and state as bold innovators, sparking vital conversations about democracy in the digital age.
Upholding Legal and Ethical Standards We have adhered strictly to Wyoming’s election laws. Contrary to claims of using a pseudonym, “Vic” is not an alias but the name by which Mr. Miller is universally known in our community. From local businesses to community events, everyone in Cheyenne knows him as Vic. This isn’t a tactic or a gimmick—it’s simply his established identity. Our campaign operates with full transparency, rejecting any notion of voter deception or ballot manipulation. By using the name most familiar to you, the voters, we’re ensuring clarity and recognition, not confusion.
Enhancing Governance Through Technology Our primary goal is to bring efficiency, transparency, and data-driven insights to local governance. AI isn’t about substituting human decision-making, but augmenting it. VIC can process vast amounts of information to provide valuable insights, but final decisions will always rest with elected officials accountable to you, the people of Cheyenne.
This approach doesn’t deny objective reality; it seeks to better understand and respond to it. We believe in facts, data, and the power of human-AI collaboration to serve our community more effectively.
An Open Invitation to Engage We invite all of you to our “Meet the Candidate” event on June 28th, 4:00-5:30 PM at the Library’s Cottonwood Room. This is your opportunity to ask questions, voice concerns, and understand our vision for Cheyenne’s future.
Conclusion Our campaign represents a bridge between traditional governance and the technological future unfolding around us. It’s about ushering in a new era of governance that embraces innovation while remaining rooted in integrity and our shared community values.
We invite all Cheyenne residents to join us in this journey. Question, learn, and help shape a governance model that combines the best of human wisdom with cutting-edge technology. Together, we can build a smarter, more responsive Cheyenne for all.
Sincerely, Vic Miller and VIC (Virtual Integrated Citizen)

‘Meet the Candidates’: Marc Torriani for Wyoming State Senate
CHEYENNE, Wyo. — In this edition of “Meet the Candidates,” Marc Torriani shares with Cap City News how he envisions governing Wyoming if elected to the state Legislature. Torriani is one of six people running for Senate District 6.
The following are responses that Torriani shared with Cap City News. To view the Q&As of other candidates who have also submitted answers to us, click here.
What are your top three legislative priorities if elected to the Wyoming State Senate, and how do you plan to achieve them?
1) Property Tax reform — rollback to valuations based on when a property was built or purchased with limits on annual increases; 2) Working within and outside the Senate office to bring new investment into our rural communities and curtailing state support for projects which bring few economic benefits, few jobs, serve other states and threaten to change Wyoming into another Colorado; 3) Supporting our farmers, ranchers, small businesses and energy industries in fighting state and federal regulations that create operational burdens and unneeded costs.
What policies do you support to stimulate economic growth and diversify Wyoming’s economy beyond its traditional industries?
Tapping private investment in brining more energy, mining, Agtech, agriculture, logistics and light intelligent manufacturing into the state. I will work with and outside of state agencies tapping my network of private equity and venture capital to support entrepreneurs in our rural communities.
What measures would you advocate for to improve healthcare access and affordability for Wyoming residents?
Recognize EMS as an essential service in Wyoming and back it with the funds needed, strengthen senior centers and their offerings, require transparent pricing to boost competition, and initiate scholarships for medical students in return for service in Wyoming’s rural areas.
How do you plan to balance Wyoming’s energy production with environmental conservation and sustainability efforts?
Focus on energy and mining production with the smallest land footprints — not solar and wind industrial installations with corresponding high-voltage lines serving other states, destroying landscapes and migration corridors, and killing wildlife.
Is there anything else you’d like voters to know about you?
As owner and operator of a cattle and horse ranch, I bring a rancher’s “common sense” coupled with over 25 years experience building, leading and turning around Telecom networks worldwide, and a strong financial background with fiscal conservatism.
