Despite some angry weather conditions, the Roaring Fork Pickleball Associations’ tournament last weekend was a success. In addition to the battles taking place on the courts, the battles with mother nature made it even more exciting. Each day, from Thursday through Sunday, players and onlookers braved the elements from wind to rain, to cold and extreme heat. At least there was something for everyone. Congratulations to the winners and medalists!
