Big White Resort and the Big White Ski Club hosted the season opener Western Canada Ski Cross event January 22nd to 24th. 75 young athletes from BC, Alberta and Washington State charged the exceptional ski x track in hopes of podium finishes. Big White is the first stop is a 3 part series of races across the West for athletes U12 and older.

Racing commenced Saturday as mother nature blanketed the track with falling snow, but the conditions stayed solid and held up with a little help from the local course crew. This allowed the anxious competitors to complete their races in good spirits and offered some great spectator entertainment.  What a difference a day can make, Sunday offered a perfect bluebird race day resulting in some extremely competitive racing for all ages.
