2026 GNCC Snowshoe Results: Grant Baylor Wins XC1 in West Virginia Fog
Grant Baylor led the final two laps to win XC1 at Snowshoe as fog cut sight lines on the mountain course.
Grant Baylor took the XC1 win at the 2026 GNCC round in Snowshoe, West Virginia, after a mid-race pass on lap four. Cool fog and slick roots defined the morning, and several podium contenders lost time in the rock gardens above the ski village.
Baylor's Husqvarna ran clean through the final two laps. Second went to Ricky Russell; third to Jordan Ashburn. Full class results are summarized in the module below and will be updated if official timing posts corrections.
Next GNCC round returns to the Midwest. Trail Roamer will publish a setup notebook for Snowshoe-style elevation and rock after rider interviews clear.
