Clear blue skies and frigid temperatures greeted more than 180 racers from across British Columbia at Sun Peaks Resort for Round 1 of the Teck Open race series.
Over four days of racing—two giant slalom (GS) and two slalom (SL) races—athletes took on the OSV race run under ideal conditions. The rock-hard surface was described as “absolutely mint” and required no grooming, holding up exceptionally well from first racer to last to deliver safe and fair competition throughout the field.
“There was some great skiing, learning, and confidence gained each day,” said Jeff Robinson, SPAC Alpine Chair and former national team coach. “There were lots of happy racers, coaches, and parents.”
