Four clubs from across the North Zone gathered in Smithers last weekend for another action-packed round of Teck North Zone racing at Hudson Bay Mountain.
Athletes from Prince George, Smithers, and Lightning Creek—along with a FIS athlete from the Okanagan Ski Team—tested their skills and season-long progress on the Cinderella race track.
A total of 16 races were completed over two days, with two starts each in slalom and giant slalom for the U12, U14, and U16 categories. The full race schedule provided athletes with valuable competitive experience and opportunities to measure their development.
Two special awards were presented recognizing the “Most Improved” athletes in the North Zone. Markus Kadenbach of Lightning Creek and Peyton Murdoch of Smithers received the honours for their progress and performances.
