Snow polo gallops into the valley with world championship final in Aspen

Snow polo play at Rio Grande Park in 2014.

  Carlos Gracida, Grant Ganzi and Mariano Gracida are young polo players in town to compete on three separate teams in the World Snow Polo Championship that will be held Friday and Saturday at Rio Grande Park.

 

Grant’s parents are organizing the event and are reintroducing the sport in the Roaring Fork Valley. The Gracida brothers’ father was one of the best players in the world before his death last year. They spoke to Aspen Public Radio’s Carolyn Sackariason.
