Ski racing is back!

Big thank you to Teck for sponsoring this event.

Teck Zone racing returned to Whistler Mountain after an 18-month hiatus with over 80 U16 and FIS racers from the Coast Zone racing strong on Whistler Mountain this past weekend. Under both sunny and overcast skies, with some fog moving about, the U16 and FIS racers competed in a two-run combined time giant slalom race on Saturday and a two-run combined time slalom race on Sunday on near perfect, hard packed Ptarmigan run which proved to be a challenging and rewarding re-entry back into racing. Everyone was grateful to the National Training Centre on Whistler and to Vail Resorts for producing a high-quality race surface after rainy weather earlier in the week. Volunteers from all Clubs (Whistler, Grouse, Cypress, Seymour, Sasquatch, and Mt. Washington) helped to make this first race of 2022 an outstanding experience for the racers.

A shout out to Robin Courcelles

Robin is a U12 parent, and one of our dye guys on Saturday. He rescued Maddy Irwin’s runaway ski. He went out of his way to do so through some very icy, crusty snow.

Also, high fives to all our Club coaches for helping our WMSC racers ski to many top ten and podium finishes.
