There sure are a lot of ski races in December. The racers must be ready for a break, and some powder skiing. And, just in time, we got a LOT of fresh powder for the holiday break.
Look at our house, almost buried! Yes, that is our friend's car in the driveway. This past week-end our local Whistler ski club hosted the first "kinder" Coast Zone GS and Slalom racers of the season. On Saturday - with a firm track and clear skies - we provided 2 one-run GS races per gender. On Sunday we had heavy snow but still - thanks to grooming - we were still able to offer 1 one-run slalom per gender. This week-end gave the racers (aged 11-14) an early-season opportunity to compete and earn results, and gave both racers and coaches some ideas on what to work on during the holiday training camps. Thanks to the 100 volunteers who came out to make this week-end a safe, fair and fun event for all.
Racing at the higher levels continues. If you have been following the news you will know that four of our Canadian Olympic hopefuls have been injured this past month (John, JP, Kelly, and Larisa) which is very sad. However, other Canadians have also had some great results. To follow CAST news click on the links in the side bar.
