Whistler Mountain Ski Club hosts Teck U16 Coast Zone GS/SL, Jan. 15 & 16
Ski racing is back! Zone racing returned to Whistler Mountain after an 18-month hiatus, with over 80 U16 and FIS racers from the Coast Zone racing strong on Whistler Mountain this past weekend. The U16 and FIS racers competed on a near perfect, hard-packed Ptarmigan run, which proved to be a challenging and rewarding re-entry back into racing. The format was a two-run combined time GS on Saturday and a two-run combined time slalom on Sunday.

Everyone was grateful to the Dave Murray National Training Centre on Whistler Mountain, and to Vail Resorts, for producing a high-quality race surface after rainy weather earlier in the week. Racers enjoyed a little sun with fog on Saturday, and overcast conditions on Sunday. Volunteers from all Clubs (Whistler, Grouse, Cypress, Seymour, Sasquatch, and Mt. Washington) helped to make this first race of 2022 an outstanding experience for the racers.
