Last weekend the Finals of the Western Canada Ski Cross Series, presented by Matrix, were held on the ski cross course at Big White. Big White was the final stop in a series of races across the West for athletes U12 and older. The Big White Telus Park track consists of natural and artificial features such as banked turns, doubles, rollers and aztecs. Approximately seventy young athletes from BC, Alberta and Washington, including the host team Big White Ski Club, raced on the exceptional track. Course training took place on Friday, racing commenced on Saturday and continued until Sunday afternoon, offering some fantastic spectator entertainment!
The top male and female U16 racers were awarded a spot at an upcoming National Ski Cross camp.
Congratulations to the overall winners pictured above!
And a BIG thank you to Big White Ski Club alumni, and Canadian Ski Cross team members Kelsey Serwa, Ned Ireland and Ian Deans for showing up, handing out awards and posing for some prized podium pics with the up-and-coming younger generation of ski cross athletes!!
