On Sunday, February 4, 2024 under cloudy skies and a light snowfall, 120 Nancy Greene Ski League racers took to the slopes at Apex Mountain Resort, hosted by Apex Ski Club. Young U10 and U12 racers from Apex and Big White Ski Clubs navigated the parallel slalom course on the Okanagan Run, which had thankfully been blankeded by five centimeters of fresh snow overnight.
The new snow was a welcome sight after a week of warm temperatures followed by a big freeze just two days before the event that left the slope icy and hard. By the time the racers arrived, thanks to the great efforts of the Apex Mountain grooming team, conditions were race-day perfect!
The Apex Ski Club would like to thank all the hard-working volunteers, as the event wouldn’t have been possible without them. We look forward to hosting again on February 24 – 25, 2024 for the Teck Okanagan Zone Races.
