Ski Club Update

Well, it's been a busy couple of weeks for the ski club. After our big Baldy Cup win the K level kids had a race at Revelstoke on the 15th and 16th. It was an awesome weekend for Silken with two firsts and a fourth in the three GS events. Madeleine had a crash in the first race but did well in the second placing 13th. The revelstoke club did a wonderful job of putting on the event and built lots of fun into the weekend with an after race social gathering on Saturday. The mountain itself is very impressive with the expansion of terrain giving it almost 5000 feet of vertical. A few parents were able to break away from the race action to sample a few runs on the upper mountain. Everyone was very impressed.

The schedule remained busy for Silken for the following week Feb 22-24th. She was part of a select group of kids from the Okanagan to race at the BC Winter Games in Kimberly. Some of the highlights for her were an 8th in GS and 6th in Kombi. The kids from the Okanagan really dominated which helped put the Thompson-Okanagan zone over the top for the overall win.

In the meantime the Nancy Greene kids have been training hard for the upcoming Okanagan finals at Big White on March 8-9th. The kids are very determined this year and have shown it in the results so far. Training is set again for this sunday at 9:30 am as usual. Any parents wanting to help out with course setting can meet out on the Face at 8:45 am.

More details to follow on meeting times for the Big White race and also for the wind-up festivities. It looks like we'll have our wind-up on either March 22nd or 23rd. We are planning to have a parents against the kids race and a lunch in the lounge.
