Whistler – "The Canadian Cowboys are saddling up and riding back into town, looking to help out another group of up-and-coming young skiers with four days of racing and fun.
Michael Janyk and Manuel Osborne-Paradis are returning to Whistler from their post-season Hawaiian holidays to run the second annual Mike and Manny Cowboys Camp, a free ski racing camp for deserving B.C. skiers born in 1993 or 1994.
With training action on Blackcomb beginning today (April 30), Janyk and Osborne-Paradis are again joining forces with Robbie Dixon, fellow national team member and Whistler Mountain Ski Club grad, to lead the camp, which offers a boost for young racers who might not be able to afford expensive, elite off-season training." ~ excerpt from The Whistler Question by Megan Grittani-Livingston mlivingston@whistlerquestion.com
