"Final race of the season just completed at Mt. Norquay. Now 6 members of the BCST are invited to the ACA try-out camp starting tomorrow. Stephanie Gartner, Stefanie Fleckinstein, Antonia Wearmouth, Sam Mulligan, Riley Seger, and Max Peiffer are in the gym testing tomorrow and on snow all week. Great athletes, great coaches, great support staff and awesome teamwork make this a very successful season regardless if anyone makes the national team this week. The rest of the team, Dominic Unterberger, Pat Carry, Cameron Alexander, Alix Wells and Mikayla Martin all have accomplished incredible things this season. I am extremely proud of this incredible group of people that make up the entire BC Ski Team!"
