APEX TECK OKANAGAN SLALOM RACE 2015

January 10-11, 2015

It was a great weekend of racing to start off the Okanagan Zone season. Conditions were excellent and it was the first big event in the new ski club cabin using our new state-of-the-art timing room!

We were thrilled with the volunteer response from the Apex Ski Club and the other clubs in the Okanagan Zone. For added excitement, we had the pleasure of watching some celebrity forerunners come down the track! Olympian Gary Athans, University of Alaska Ski Team alumnus Sandra Macdonald, and former BC Ski Team member Matt Holler entertained spectators on Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday consisted of two 1-run slalom races for the U12 and U14+ (U14/U16/U18) categories. On Sunday it was 2-run slalom races for everyone.

The Apex Ski Club and the Race Organizing Committee would like to thank Teck for sponsoring ski racing!

Thanks also to Apex Mountain Resort for the fantastic grooming and awesome prizes, and to Chad and Colin from the Edge Bistro for donating some great prizes.

It was a fun and successful weekend!  Kudos to the Apex Ski Club and thank you to all the volunteers!
