COLLINGWOOD, ON (March 21, 2011) – Roni Remme was crowned President’s Choice K2 Canadian champion in super combined champion after winning Monday’s race in a time one minute, 15.25 seconds.
Remme, from Collingwood and the National Ski Academy, narrowly beat out Ontario teammate Liz Currie, who took the silver medal on her home club hill. Currie was only one-tenth of a second back in the super-G and finished with a combined time of 1.16.64; in third spot was Valerie Grenier, from Quebec, in 1.17.45. Whistler Mountain Ski Club racer Rachel Vander Veen was the top BC girl, finishing just off the podium in 4th place!
In the men’s race, USA skier Wyatt Queirolo, from Killington, Vermont, took the super-G in a time of 44.90. Following Queriolo in second spot was Alberta’s Mike Gillespie, in 45.29, and William Walton of the Grouse Tyee Ski Club was third in 45.36.
Conditions while tough – with a morning temperature of 1+ – responded well to the efforts of more than 30 course workers. The morning rain moved off to the East as the sun emerged just in time for the ladies’ slalom. Cooler temperatures are expected starting tonight, including snow later in the week.
The 2011 President’s Choice K2 Canadian Championships, will crown the Canadian champions in slalom and giant slalom, super-G and super combined.
