PANORAMA MOUNTIAN VILLAGE – 2/4/2010 – Don’t miss LIVE TIMING!
K2 Provincial Series 2010 sponsored by Teck
The Windermere Valley Ski Club and Panorama Mountain Village welcomed 76 K2 boys and 66 K2 girls this week for the 2010 K2 Provincial Race Series. First on the agenda was the women’s super G.
Alix Wells of the Prince George Ski Club was first out of the start and would clock the fastest time through a super G course that featured lots of turns and a rock-solid track. Wells completed the course in 58.13 seconds to take the gold and was followed by Emma King of the Whistler Mountain Ski Club in second with a time of 58.21 and Hallie MacLachlan of the Fernie Alpine Ski Team in third with a time of 59.19.
"I was looking for top-3 today, so to win feels pretty good," said Wells. "I think all my summer training with the B2B program really helped my skiing a lot. Today my coach just told me to ski hard and have fun and that’s what I did."
When asked about the conditions at Panorama, Wells told us "I started first and the course was really hard in the morning. I think it held up well all day considering how warm and sunny it is here."
The ladies were given another opportunity to race the super G course on day-one of the event. In the second race, Emma King (WMSC) edged out Wells for the win in 59.91 seconds. Wells took up second spot in 58.15 and Jamie Honsberger of the Fernie Alpine Ski Team came in third in 58.72. This second race was a BC Alpine FIS race and was not part of the K2 Provincial Championships.
Men’s super G was on the afternoon schedule. Martin Grasic of the Windermere Valley Ski Club, also wearing bib #1, lead the field by well over a second, claiming the gold in 55.62 seconds. Brodie Seger and Logan Pehota, both of the Whistler Mountain Ski Club, rounded out the men’s podium in second and third spots respectively.
Awards were handed out Thursday by Dusan Grasic, Head Technical Coach for the Canadian Alpine Ski Team.
The racers will face the super G track again tomorrow. The men will have their turn to race twice and the women will compete once.
