FIDELITY U16 Can-Am – Apex Mountain Resort
Hosted by the Apex Ski Club, March 20 – 23, 2014
Max Kirshenblatt (WMSC)
The Apex Ski Club welcomed 201 registered racers from BC, Alberta, Manitoba, PNSA division of USSA, and RMD division of USSA (which included Ski and Snowboard Club Vale, Steamboat Springs, and Aspen) for the 2014 Can Am event at Apex Mountain Resort March 20 to 23.
Finn Iles (WMSC)
On Thursday, day one of the event, Mother Nature blessed them with about 30 cm of fluffy powder, causing the cancellation of one ladies' super-G and postponing the other until Friday. The men's slalom managed to run that day.
Lewis Darling (Alberta)
The next day, Friday, they were able to complete a ladies’ super-G, a men’s super-G AND a ladies’ slalom. The SG speed track was very exciting, to say the least! Saturday saw a men’s GS and a ladies’ one-run GS, then on Sunday the tables were turned and they ran a full ladies’ GS plus a one-run GS for the men.
Andrea Arnold (Colorado – RMD)
The racers, famailies and volunteers enjoyed four great days of racing that ended happily on a beautiful sunny day! A huge thank you goes out to the many hardworking volunteers for their efforts and contributions.
Sydney Bezenar (Alberta)
Before the Can Am races got underway, 75 athletes took part in the three-day U16 Osisko Speed Camp, also at Apex. This was a spectacular training opportunity for the racers, especially those who don't have a speed training venue at home! Thank you to former national team racer Jeff Hume of Whistler who came out to mentor the kids, working with them every day on jumps and drills on a full super-G track!
Soleil Patterson (Red Mountain Racers)
Overall U16 Can Am gold medals were presented to Carson Cook of the Snow Valley Ski Club (AB) and Sydney Bezenar of the Sunshine Alpine Racers (AB).

BC Ski Team's Charley Field (Whistler Mountain Ski Club) was trying different lines in the training runs leading up to this week's national championship downhill competition. According to coach JP Daigneault, Field was learning the track and lurking back in about 10th position during training, but on race day showed she's a money player by making it happen when it counts, finishing Friday's downhill race as the top BC competitor in 4th position overall.
"Charley been getting better and better all season with her game-day performances," said Daigneault. "It was also really great to see Alix Wells (BCST/Prince George) rip down her second-ever downhill race. She is finding courage I doubt she even knew she had! We're all hoping for same or better performances in the super-G. Unfortunately, we're missing local favourite Emma King (BCST/WMSC) because of a knee injury she suffered at Nor-Am finals last week. Emma was really getting her speed skiing fine-tuned, and was ready for this race. It’s unfortunate, but Alix and Charley are picking up the pace in Emma's absence."

Morgan Pridy wins downhill title at Sport Chek Canadian Championships
WHISTLER, B.C. (March 22, 2014) — Morgan Pridy added a national downhill title to an increasingly impressive resumé that included a breakthrough 10th-place finish at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games as he won Saturday’s glamour event at the Sport Chek Canadian Championships by more than half a second.
The 23-year-old hometown hero, who grew up racing on the slopes of Whistler, B.C., provided further evidence that he’s ready to emerge from the shadows of the Canadian Cowboys and establish himself as one of the Canadian Alpine Ski Team’s rising stars.
With three-time World Cup winner Manuel Osborne-Paradis withdrawing due to a back problem and Canadian World Cup podium record holder Erik Guay and Olympic bronze medallist Jan Hudec also absent, Pridy took top honours as Canada’s next generation of speed skiers battled for the prestigious downhill crown. Tyler Werry (BCST) of Calgary, Alta., who has been training with the national development team, was second Saturday, while Ben Thomsen, of Invermere, B.C., was third.
“It’s super cool to have a national championship title,” said Pridy of his first podium at nationals. “I got a little bit of luck with the conditions – a couple of course holds here and there and the fog coming in and out – but it all worked out. I’m super happy.”
Pridy, the younger brother of fellow national team racer Conrad, was identified by his teammates and coaches as one to watch going into the 2013-14 season. Like a lot of young racers, he found it difficult to break through on the World Cup circuit but two top-30 finishes in Kitzbühel, Austria, in January, helped him make Canada’s team for Sochi. He excelled in his Olympic debut, finishing a superb 10th in the super-G on the same day Hudec became the first Canadian in 20 years to win an Olympic medal.
“I really needed this. It’s a nice weight off my shoulders going into the off-season,” explained Pridy, who needed points from the national championships in order to set himself up for 2014-15. “We have a chance to score FIS results here, which is great.
“I would have liked to have raced Johnny (Kucera), Manny, Erik and Jan for the title but that’s how it works out and I’m pretty pleased with the result, for sure.”
Super-G has been Pridy’s best discipline this season and he’s also considered a strong prospect in giant slalom. Due to his smaller frame, he’s not an archetypal downhiller but he showed Saturday that he’s making big strides in the glamour discipline.
“I really don’t want to have another season where I’m only performing in one discipline,” said Pridy, who clocked a time of one minute, 4.01 seconds Saturday. “I want to race and do well every weekend – not five days out of every year. Downhill is something I’m going to have to work hard at but today is great. I’m going to be focusing more on giant slalom and I’ll do everything here (at nationals) except slalom.”
With the fog rolling in and out Saturday, the weather was a factor in a race that was extremely tight – with positions two through nine separated by less than four-tenths of a second. U.S. veteran Steven Nyman – a two-time World Cup winner who was a major podium threat – was one of the racers who went down in less than perfect conditions.
Werry, who won the Nor-Am Cup super-G title to earn himself a World Cup spot for next season, was second Saturday in 1:04.56. Thomsen, who struggled on the World Cup this season but came through with a clutch 12th-place finish in the Kitzbühel downhill to qualify for the Olympics, had a strong run Saturday to claim his first podium at nationals.
“I thought it was a pretty good run but apparently I was missing a couple of things,” said Thomsen, who crossed the line in 1:04.67. “Morgan skied really, really well today – he really brought his A-game. I’m really happy that I’m on the podium.”
Veteran Jeffrey Frisch, of Mont-Tremblant, Que., who was second in downhill at the 2013 nationals and won the super-G, finished fourth Saturday in 1:04.69, while Nyman was one-hundredth of a second back in fifth. Development team racer William Schuessler-Bédard, of St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., (Club de ski Sutton/Ski Québec Alpin) was the top U21 in sixth (1:04.73), while Cameron Alexander, of the Whistler Mountain Ski Club, was the top U18 in 17th.
A special dual slalom featuring alpine and para-alpine racers was due to be held at 4 p.m. local time on Saturday, followed by autograph signing and an après party at the GLC.
The national championship races continue in Whistler on Sunday with the Sport Chek Canadian Championships ladies’ super-G, as well as the national para-alpine championship slalom races for men and women. The ladies’ super-G is scheduled to start at 10:30 a.m. local time. You can follow it via live timing: http://live-timing.com/races.php.

Ford Swette (CAST/WMSC) was the top U21 in the final Nor-Am slalom race of the season and Dominic Unterberger (BCST/Revelstoke) was 3rd U21. Everyone on the podium was presented with a ceremonial Cowboy hat by the Calgary Stampede Royalty.
"Coming into the slaloms at COP I knew I had speed, as I had been skiing really fast in training," said Unterberger. "Today I trusted my training and just skied, and although I didn't have perfect runs, they were solid enough to land me on the junior podium and get me a pretty cool cowboy hat!"
"We had a very solid series as a team here in Alberta," said Nick Cooper, Men's BC Team coach. "Today they all skied very solid on an extremely difficult hill. Dom has lots to be proud of this season and it was great I see him finish the Nor-Am series on the junior podium. His career has been all about perseverance and his Nor-Am season was the same. By the end of our Portillo training camp in the fall, I knew how much speed he had and he has slowly built his confidence at events of this level, and that speed is starting show up. Looking very forward to Nationals, with the way the whole team is skiing right now."
