The Open Roping at the Winter Classic saw 29 teams brave the cold to come out and rope. Denim Ross, a standout throughout junior high and high school rodeo, did some great work heeling and took the win with Trey Gallais. The pair from Sundre and Botha, Alberta, were able to win the roping with a 33.77 on five head, good for $4,440, despite having a barrier in round number 4.
