VSC looking for volunteers at Silver Star Teck Provincials, Feb 26 to Mar 1

by Kathy Stahr | Feb 20, 2015 | Member News

The Vernon Ski Club is hosting the Teck U14 GS and SL Provincial Championships at Silver Star Mountain, February 26th to March 1st.

They are looking for volunteers – gate judges and other on-hill positions such as scoreboard and finish controller.

Lift tickets and lunches are available for full-day volunteers, and the Saturday night volunteer social at Silver Star is absolutely the best!

If you love getting close to the action and have been looking for a reason to go and watch your athlete compete, please sign up HERE.

Even just a day or two (especially Thursday and Friday) would be great!

Thank you 🙂

Natalenko grabs Silver for Team BC at Prince George Canada Winter Games

CWG Ladies GS – 1 MACDONALD (ONT), 2 NATALENKO (BC), 3 TREMBLAY (QUE) PHOTO BY: Catherine Martin

The first medal for BC at the 2015 Canada Winter Games was won by Kristina Natalenko of the Grouse Tyee Ski Club. Natalenko earned silver in Monday's GS competition, and was joined on the podium by Brianna MacDonald of Ontario in the gold medal position, and Quebec's Maxime Tremblay who took the bronze.

For Kristina Natalenko, earning the silver medal was an honour. “I was really excited and I feel like I really represented B.C.,” said Natalenko. “My second run went better than my first run because I had a cleaner line and I was pretty happy with my ski.”

“This is the longest giant slalom they have done, and will do, in their age group," said head coach Justine Parent. "It was a long course, hard snow, and technical terrain – which is good preparation for FIS next year. This event gave them a taste of that level, and the girls are loving it.”
