Athletes from Whistler Mountain Ski Club, Cypress Ski Club, Mt Washington Ski Club, Mt Seymour Ski Club, and Sasquatch Mountain Ski Club joined the Grouse Tyee for two days of racing in very challenging weather conditions. In spite of rapidly changing weather, from hail to rain to fog, athletes persevered. One parent reported that athletes could only see two gates at a time during the foggy spells!

On Friday, spectators were delighted to see the entire width of the Deliverance run at Grouse Mountain converted into a GS course, making the event extra special to watch.
