Two skiers from Jackson will compete in the Special Olympics World Games in South Korea later this month. 45-year-old Mona Sobieski and 15-year-old Alex Moreno are getting ready back at home after training in Lake Placid, N.Y. Sobieski has been skiing for 30 years but has never been to the world games before. She moved to Jackson in 2006 and is also an equestrian. Moreno is an eighth grader at Jackson Hole Middle School who's been skiing since his fourth grade teacher encouraged him to get involved in the Special Olympics. He'll compete in the giant slalom, regular slalom and super G during the games, which start Jan. 29th.
