The 2026 Teck Okanagan Zone Finals closed out the season in style at SilverStar Mountain Resort, with two classic spring race days – bluebird skies, +5 to +10°C, and a true beach-day vibe by Sunday.
More than 150 skiers from Vernon, Apex, Big White, Sun Peaks, and Revelstoke came ready to finish the season strong. Saturday’s GS for the U14 and U16’s delivered speed and intensity, while Sunday’s slalom brought full spring energy. Despite the warmth, the surface held firm thanks to a dedicated course crew that refused to let the conditions win.
The U12 skiers kept the momentum high with two GS runs on Saturday and two SL runs on Sunday (junior and paneled), showcasing strong progression and confidence heading into next season.
This event was a true zone effort, with volunteers from across clubs stepping in at every level – from course prep to timing to finish line energy.
A sincere thank you to all volunteers, coaches, families, and partners, including SilverStar Mountain Resort and Teck, for making this weekend – and the entire season – a success.
