After three great days of training on the downhill track at Lake Louise, the men’s race was completed successfuly, but the women’s race was cancelled after the 16th racer left the start gate. Friday’s races will run women at 10 AM, followed by men and then another women’s race if time and conditions permit.
Following are the UNOFFICIAL results from the Men’s Downhill. Congratulations to BC Ski Team member Ben Thomsen of Invermere and the Windermere Valley Ski Club for stepping it up when it counts to finish in one minute, 50.55 seconds. Thomsen was the third fastest Junior for the day. Sasha Zaitsoff (Red Mountain Racers) and Morgan Pridy (Whistler Mountain Ski Club), both BC Alpine FIS B2B athletes, took second and third place respectively in the J1 category.
