Over 160 skiers from the Coast zone ski clubs braved the elements to compete in the 2025 Tyee Cup last weekend at Grouse Mountain.
Young ski racers from Sasquatch, Mount Washington, Whistler Mountain Ski Club, Grouse-Tyee, Seymour persevered through cold and wet conditions on the first day and then a Pacific downpour on the second day.
“We were challenged by the conditions and only able to run a one-run glalom on Saturday and a stubbie slalom on Sunday … but we did it!” said Kathryn Odre, Grouse Mountain Tyee Ski Club president.
A huge thanks to everyone: our sponsors (especially those who provided some impressive and much appreciated swag!), Grouse Mountain Resort, coaches, parents, volunteers and the athletes who inspired us with their resilience and team spirit.
The smiles and fun couldn’t be dampened by the weather.
