The first K level (K1 - 11 & 12 yr olds, K2 - 13 & 14 yr olds) was held on Dec 15th and 16th at Sun Peaks. It was a very successful race for Baldy's Silken Rauhala who placed 2nd on the 1st day and then two 3rds on the second day. Both days featured a full length GS course that really tested the kids emerging skills. It was the first K race ever for Madeleine Everton who continued to improve over the weekend and cracked the top 15 in the final race of the weekend. All in all it was a very fun and motivating experience. As well as K racers there were J level racers (15-18 yr olds) and teams from the Okanagan, Prince George and even a team from Australia. Next race is a slalom on Jan 20th & 21st at Big White. We are planning on starting some stubbie slalom training over the holidays at Baldy. If there are any E level kids around they are welcome to join in for some early Nancy Green training. More pictures are on the Baldy Team Picture link on the left side bar.
