Harold Enquist Jr. attends 84th Annual Teck Enquist Slalom event at Mt. Seymour

Mount Seymour Ski Club hosts annual Enquist Slalom event sponsored by Teck

The classic Teck Enquist Slalom was held March 7 & 8 under ideal winter conditions at Mt. Seymour. The two-day event demands back to back top finishes in each of the two-run slaloms for those wanting to contend for the historic Enquist Slalom Trophies.

Ella Kaufmann (Whistler Mountain Ski Club) and Manu Gandhi (Cypress Ski Club) prevailed as the recipients of the women’s and men’s trophies.

The 84^th annual race was hosted by the Mount Seymour Ski Club and featured competitors from ages 12-16 from ski clubs all across BC Alpine’s Coast Zone.

Harold Enquist Jr. attended the awards ceremony and presented the trophies to this year’s winners. The Enquist Slalom is named in honour of his father Harold Enquist Sr., a pioneer in establishing skiing on Mt. Seymour in the late 1930s. Harold Enquist Jr. raced in the event in his youth, finishing third in the 1953 event.

The Mount Seymour Ski Club wishes to thank race series sponsor Teck, all the volunteers for making the race possible, and Mount Seymour Resorts for its continued support.
