Canadian development team ski racer Georgia Simmerling (West Vancouver/Grouse Tyee) grabbed second place in the opening Northwest Funds Coupe Nor-Am Cup ladies downhill race of the 2009-2010 season at Lake Louise.
"I know that I am definitely a veteran of the Nor-Am’s now," said the 20-year-old Simmerling, who is starting her fourth Nor-Am Cup season and her third with the national team. "I have a lot more confidence in my skiing right now. These days I am not looking around at other people, trying to figure out what to do. I know what I need to do."
