The Sporting Life Okanagan North Nancy Greene Ski League Dual Slalom ski race was a huge success on February 5, 2023, at Revelstoke Mountain Resort. Over 100 young athletes from Sun Peaks, Harper, Vernon, Summit Lake and Golden competing in the U10 and U12 categories, took to the slopes to show off their skills and determination.
The course was fun and challenging, and the kids rose to the occasion, displaying impressive speed and precision as they navigated the turns. With the fog holding off below the race course, conditions were good for all our young skiers and spectators. It was a little less work for our course workers too, because for once race day was not a powder day!
