Ramsden wins; McCarthy, Gartner duke it out in Panorama Keurig Cup Slaloms

PANORAMA, B.C. (Dec. 21, 2013) – BC Ski Team racer Blake Ramsden (Whistler Mountain Ski Club) claimed his first FIS slalom win today in Panorama, holding off a group of hard-charging youngsters in frigid and foggy conditions.

"To win a slalom race at this point in the season is a huge confidence booster," said Ramsden. "I have been focusing mostly on speed lately, so it's great to know that my tech skiing is still going well. It's also great to be sharing the podium with my teammate Pat! Hopefully there will be more from the BC team in the next two days!"

Ramsden’s teammate Patrick Carry (Fernie Alpine Ski Team) finished third after arriving this morning from Colorado where he was racing in Nor-Am competitions over the past three weeks.

It was a much different looking podium than yesterday when Canadian Alpine Ski Team racer Paul Stutz had a commanding win but was not available for racing today.

On the women’s side, Jocelyn McCarthy, of the Alberta Ski Team raced to two wins over Stephanie Gartner (Canadian Development Team/Fernie Alpine Ski Team) and Stephanie Irwin (Canadian Alpine Ski Team). BC Ski Team racer Alix Wells finished fourth and sixth over the two days of slalom races.

“It’s been a long stretch for most of the BC Ski Team after nearly a month of racing in Colorado but I’m very happy to see them show up and ready to go,” said Gordie Bowles, Athletic Director. “There’s a reasonably deep field here showing promise for a bright future. The race-within-the-race is interesting to watch with this young field.”

Competition continues tomorrow and Monday with two giant slalom races.
