TECK RACE RECAP: Whistler Mtn. Ski Club, Coast Zone | BC Alpine Ski Association

Whistler Mountain Ski Club hosted Teck Coast Zone GS and Slalom, January 22 & 23, 2022

Location: Dave Murray National Training Centre, Whistler Mountain
Hill Conditions: Firm, spring-like conditions both days
Weather Conditions: Mix of sun and cloud
Race Structure: Two-run combined time giant slalom on Saturday; two-run combined time slalom on Sunday

Racers were back in action at Whistler last weekend weekend for the first U14 zone races since 2020! It was a beautiful spring-like weekend under mostly sunny skies, with over 120 racers competing at the National Training Centre on Whistler’s Ptarmigan run. The two-run combined giant slalom races were held on Saturday, and the two-run combined slalom races were held on Sunday.

It was a perfect way to start racing again! Despite the warm temperatures, the race surface held up really well, with lots of terrific work from a great crew of volunteers from across the Coast Zone clubs. Big thank you to Teck for sponsoring this event, and to Vail for helping us make it happen. Congratulations to all racers for their good cheer and for skiing their best!
