FACES OF MAC Brent, Parker, and Grant Andersen won the Eigenvector Fastest Family Award at the 2021 Summer Fun National ski races held at Timberline on July 17-18. “One of the great honors in any sport is to win a family challenge, showcasing the breadth and depth of talent in multiple generations of a family,” says Susie Andersen, wife of Brent and mother of Parker and Grant. Brent, Parker (18), and Grant (16) also placed at the top of their individual categories. The Andersens competed as a family for the first time at the two-day event in giant slalom and slalom races, with two runs each day. They unseated another MAC clan, the Scroggins family, who’ve held the title for three years. Parker and Grant both entered the MAC Ski Racing program at age 5 with Jesse Scroggins as their coach. Their parents are avid skiers but have never raced. Brent now says he wants to start training! Parker was ranked third in the USSA National Standings in downhill.
