The Dreadnaught crew was at it again last week, delivering a highly successful speed camp and race series at Kimberley Alpine Resort.
See all event images, results and recap video below.
Mostly clear skies, cold temperatures, and a firm race surface created ideal conditions for speed training and competition. Athletes showed impressive development in their speed skills from the start of camp through the final races, particularly among the many first-year participants. The field included a diverse mix of North American and international competitors, adding to the depth and quality of the racing.
The speed camp and race series featured more than 1,000 runs on Kimberley’s legendary race track. The speed camp took place from January 21–23, followed by the FIS Dreadnaught Speed and Night Slalom Series from January 24–30.
Participation continued to grow, with the series recording its largest field across all disciplines—up at least 20 per cent year over year.
BC Alpine extends a sincere thank you to Kimberley Alpine Resort for its continued support of the event, including outstanding grooming and snowmaking.
“This was a truly impressive volunteer group assembled with a deep depth of experience from World Cup speed course crews,” said Gord Reese, Chief of Race for the downhill and super-G events.
