Invitation to Mike & Manny camp fundraiser – 2013 camp attendees named

Six years of the Mike and Manny Cowboys ski camp!

Manny and I would like to invite you for an exciting night of fundraising and entertainment on Saturday the 20th of April at the Miele Kitchen Showroom (69 Smithe St. Downtown Vancouver) from 7pm until 11pm. Manny's good friend Jon-Paul Holt from Avant Garde Salon has put his creative ideas to work and has designed a fun evening of international food and drink, as well as three different musical talents. There will be four or five live auction items, a photo booth and many draw prizes. This will be a fun-filled evening to raise money for the Mike and Manny Cowboys ski camp and The Mike and Manny Foundation.

The Cowboys ski camp continues this year and we have invited 16 young athletes from across Canada to the mountains of Whistler.  This camp is jam-packed full of skiing, dryland, fun and laughter, all while living under one roof and reeping the benefits of amazing coaching provided by national team athletes and coaches. Most importantly we create a connection from the World Cup level to the grass roots level, by sharing our passion for ski racing and our commitment to pursuing our dreams. 

http://vimeo.com/34853848

The Mike and Manny camp is providing this opportunity at a pivotal juncture in the lives of these young athletes, who, due to financial restraints, would not be able to attend an off-season ski camp. We continue to run this camp at no charge to the athletes while also hooking them up with some new gear thanks to our great equipment sponsors. 

Our vision for the Mike and Manny Foundation continues to grow beyond this special ski camp. We have added a high performance bursary and a community involvement program. Our high performance bursaries directly support provincial level athletes in pursuit of their goals, and our community involvement program will provide opportunities for inner-city kids to get on skis. 

To those of you who have supported us already this year in Whistler, I apologize for the double email and we sincerely thank you. 

For those of you unable to make the fundraiser the night of April 20th, we invite you to visit our site where you can donate directly to the camp and our foundation.

We are looking forward to another successful camp this year and it’s with your help that we can continue offering growing opportunities to financially strained young ski racers across Canada in a sport we all love.

Sincerely, 

Mike and Manny

U16 Mulligan, U14 Iles win GS; Canada reclaims Rio Tinto Alcan Whistler Cup,


WHISTLER, B.C. (April 7, 2013) — Four podium finishes on the final day of competition earned Team Canada the coveted U16 Whistler Cup title on Sunday. 

The Canadian team – comprised of three U16 boys and three U16 girls – was crowned the top overall team with 267 points at the three-day event in Whistler, B.C., one of the largest international junior ski races for the world’s best up-and-coming young racers. Norway finished second with 178 points, and Japan placed third with 127. 

Canada won the Whistler Cup, presented by Rio Tinto Alcan, four out of five years prior to 2012 but lost the title to Switzerland last year, so reclaiming top honours was particularly sweet for a determined team skiing in front of a home crowd. 

“I’m really excited,” said Nigel Cooper, Alpine Canada’s manager of athlete development. “I think the Japanese, the Italians, and the Norwegians represent a good part of some of the best skiing nations in the world. Overall the field through to the top 10 is pretty strong, so I think that our top three girls and boys on Team Canada really strutted their stuff.” 

Amelia Smart, 15, of Invermere, B.C., was presented with the Nancy Greene Award, which is given to the top overall Canadian girl who accumulated the most points over three days, while the Dave Murray Award for the top Canadian boy went to Jack Crawford, 15, of Toronto, Ont. 

Sixteen-year-old Sam Mulligan of Vancouver, B.C., led the charge for the Canadian squad on Sunday, winning gold in men’s U16 giant slalom with a two-run combined time of one minute, 41.79 seconds. 

“Nothing feels better than to be on top of the podium. I’m very happy,” said Mulligan, who was second in last year’s Whistler Cup giant slalom race. “I always thought I could win, but it’s good to have the fastest time, for sure.” 

Mulligan, who skis with the Grouse Mountain Tyee Ski Club and is racing with Team Canada at the Whistler Cup, posted the fastest first run of the day, which helped him hold onto the lead in the second run. 

“I felt really good about my first run,” he said. “I was solid and kept a good line and didn’t make any big mistakes. I think how well I did in the first run was what helped me win the race. The second run was really rough and didn’t feel good, but it was just good enough to take the win.” 

Invermere, B.C.’s Keegan Sharp, who is representing Team Canada at the Whistler Cup for the third time, claimed silver (1:42.68). 

“It’s a good feeling. I’m here like everyone else wanting to be in the top position. But someone’s got to win it,” said Sharp, 16, who skis with Team Panorama Ski Club. “I’m excited with my second. I’m happy. 

“My first run was pretty clean and fast. I got down to the first breakover and I was a little in the backseat; I got sucked down low in the line, and almost had to cut right back across the hill so I lost a lot of speed, but I still ended up second after the first run. My second run was also pretty good. I was risking quite a bit, but I was able to pull it together. In general it was a pretty solid run.” 

Norway’s Jens Harald Johannessen – who won gold in Saturday’s slalom – took bronze (1:43.05). 

“It’s great. My first run was not good skiing at all, so I just had to attack the second run and hope for the best,” he said. 

Team Norway and Team Canada also battled it out in ladies’ U16 slalom on Sunday, with Canadians Ali Nullmeyer (1:31.22) and Smart (1:32.27) winning sliver and bronze, respectively, and Kajsa Lie Vickhoff (1:31.13) of Norway claiming gold. 

“It feels good,” said Nullmeyer, 14, of Toronto, Ont., who skis with the Georgian Peaks Ski Club and is representing Team Canada in Whistler. “First run I had a clean run, but I probably could have attacked a bit more – same with the second run. Overall they were pretty good.” 

Smart posted the fastest second run of the day, which bumped her up from fourth to third place. 

“I was pretty proud of my second run because I skied pretty well,” said Smart, who skis with Team Panorama Ski Club and was named to Team Canada for the Whistler Cup. “The first run was bumpy and I was kind of getting thrown everywhere, but I made it down pretty fast. The second run I tried to attack the course as hard as I could. It worked out pretty well.” 

An ecstatic Vickhoff gushed about her gold medal win in the finish area. 

“I just gave it everything I had and it paid off. It’s so amazing. Oh my God, I can’t believe it. It’s so good here. I love being here – it’s fantastic.” 

In addition to Mulligan, Sharp, Nullmeyer and Smart, Riley Seger, of North Vancouver, B.C., and Stephanie Currie, of Toronto, Ont made up the six members of Team Canada that won the Whistler Cup. 

U14 skiers also raced in men’s giant slalom and ladies’ slalom on Sunday. In the men’s race, Canada’s Finn Iles (57.78) and Kasper Woolley (59.16), both from the Whistler Mountain Ski Club, captured gold and sliver, respectively, while Japan’s Tarou Aihara (59.21) took bronze. 

On the ladies’ side, Gwen Dymond (1:44.53) of the Osler Bluff Ski Club took bronze as the top-placing Canadian. Annabelle Hough (1:41.05) of Australia won gold, and Japan’s Chelsea Kumono (1:44.40) earned bronze. 

In the U14 category, Brianna MacDonald, of the Osler Bluff Ski Club, was presented with the Nancy Greene Award for top overall female, while Iles earned the Dave Murray Award. Japan took top overall honours as a nation in the U14 category. 

The unique atmosphere of the Whistler Cup was not lost on Canada’s young competitors. 

“This week has been a really good experience,” said Sharp. “It’s really all about learning – learning how to ski in different conditions against different competitors, and also to just have a good time with it as well.” 

“It’s been really fun, added Mulligan. “You get to know everyone so well. It’s just fun to ski with your friends and go fast. It’s the perfect environment to do that in.” 

Racers with Team Canada received a generous helping hand from the Nik Zoricic Foundation to help offset some of the costs of attending the event. 

Nik Zoricic, a talented young racer and a member of the Canadian ski cross team, passed away following a crash at a World Cup race in Grindelwald, Switzerland last year. Zoricic’s family has since set up the foundation in his memory, and chose to help support young Canadian racers at the Whistler Cup. 

“We thought it would be nice for these kids to know who he was,” said Bebe Zoricic, Nik’s father. “This is a way for us to keep his legacy going, and at the same time help these young athletes on the (Whistler Cup) national team to feel special. 

“Nik himself competed in the Whistler Cup four times, and he always had a great time and made great memories . . . it’s a special place to be, and we’d like to support it as much as we can,” Bebe added. “Our goal is to enable athletes who maybe can’t afford things to be able to attend camps and have those opportunities. They are the future of racing.”

Crawford, Seger on SL podium; Smart, Jepsen on GS podium at Whistler Cup

WHISTLER, B.C. (April 6, 2013) — Amelia Smart dominated the U16 ladies’ giant slalom Saturday, winning both runs to earn gold during the second day of competition at the Whistler Cup, while Jack Crawford and Riley Seger took silver and bronze, respectively, in the U16 men’s slalom in Whistler, B.C. 

Smart, 15, of Invermere, B.C., skied a fast first run in challenging snow conditions and had almost a two-second lead heading into the second run. She attacked the course with a clean line in the second run and again posted the fastest time, winning gold by more than two seconds. 

“It feels pretty good. I was pretty nervous for the first run because it was super soft snow, but I attacked it and skied my best and it paid off,” said Smart, who skis with Team Panorama and was named to Team Canada’s squad for the Whistler Cup. “Second run I did the same thing and attacked as much as I could. I think I just had a good line.” 

Smart posted a two-run combined time of one minute, 53.15 seconds. 

“Amelia completely dominated the women’s giant slalom,” said Nigel Cooper, Alpine Canada’s manager of athlete development. “She took no prisoners. I think it had a lot to do with her making some really good adjustments to the conditions we got delivered here, which, ironically aren’t her type of conditions. 

“She chose a line and a tactic that was really fast, which was really mature of her. Pretty impressive ski racing.” 

Japan’s Mio Arai was second (1:55.23), and Kathryn Parker of Australia was third (1:56.28). 

“In the first run I wasn’t quite satisfied, but in the second run I achieved my goal,” Arai said with the help of a translator. “I am so happy.” 

“It feels great,” added Parker of her race. “I ran pretty early in the first run, so it was a bit better than the second because the second was a bit bumpy. It’s a really fun course. The Whistler Cup is a great experience.” 

Saturday’s men’s slalom race saw head-to-head competition between Canada and Norway. Jack Crawford, from Toronto, Ont., fought his way through the pack from a late start number to take silver with a two-run combined time of 1:31.46, while Norway’s Jens Harald Johannessen earned gold (1:30.56). Despite a slip in the second run, Riley Seger of North Vancouver, B.C., won bronze (1:32.32) after posting the fastest first run of the day. 

Crawford and Seger were both on Friday’s super-G podium, with Crawford winning gold and Seger taking silver. 

“It feels pretty good to be on the podium for the second day,” said Crawford, 15, who races with the Whistler Mountain Ski Club and is representing Team B.C. at the Whistler Cup. 

“I made a few too many mistakes in the first run; I was starting a bit farther back in the pack so when I started the run it was feeling okay, but when I got further down the ruts had just gotten bigger and bigger,” Crawford said of starting 49th. “The second run went a bit better. I was trying to fight the rough bits too much coming down, but once I figured that part out about halfway down, it got a lot better.” 

Seger, another Whistler Mountain Ski Club racer, finished 22nd in the second run when he spun backwards at a gate and nearly skied out. Despite the mistake he still managed to secure third spot on the podium.

“It’s a good feeling,” said Seger, 15, who is racing with Team Canada at the Whistler Cup. “My first run was really good. I was starting 24th, and I executed my plan well and then second run, I was just trying to contain the nerves. I was having a good run until I stopped and skied backwards for a gate, and then I kept going.” 

Seger’s slip left the door open for Johannessen, who was second after the first run. 

“It feels great to win gold,” Johannessen said. “I just tried to get to the finish. The conditions are pretty bad, so I just tried to get down fast. This is my first time at the Whistler Cup and it is a great event. It must be the best event so far.” 

Cooper was impressed with the Canadian duo’s ability to charge from the back of the pack. 

“For the second day in a row Jack attacked from way back,” Cooper said. “He’s not racing on Team Canada, but obviously we’re very proud of him as a Canadian. He has started both days with late start numbers, and has charged his way onto the podium both days. 

“Riley Seger might have had the biggest day, and maybe should have won the race. I think he was poised to win the run and win the race, but he made enough of a mistake that it put him back, and he still ended up third, which is pretty impressive.” 

U14 racers also strapped on their technical skis Saturday to compete in men’s slalom and ladies’ giant slalom. 

Louis-Philippe Noel, racing with Team Quebec, was the top-performing Canadian in the men’s slalom with a fourth-place finish (1:44.47). Japan’s Tarou Aihara (1:40.20) and Hiroto Hasebe  (1:42.67) were first and second, respectively, and Chile’s Francisco Allende was third (1:43.53). 

Canada’s Brianna MacDonald, who skis with the Osler Bluff Ski Club, took second in the ladies’ giant slalom (1:03.41) and Mollie Jepsen, of the Whistler Mountain Ski Club, was third (1:04.01). Japan’s Chelsea Kumono won gold (1:03.15). 

Sunday marks the final day of competition at the Whistler Cup, presented by Rio Tinto Alcan, with men’s giant slalom and ladies’ slalom.

Crawford, Seger, Mulligan on super-G podium at Rio Tinto Alcan Whistler Cup


WHISTLER, B.C. (April 5, 2013)
— Canada enjoyed a stellar start to the three-day Whistler Cup on Friday, sweeping the U16 men’s super-G podium and winning silver and bronze in ladies’ U16 super-G in Whistler, B.C. 

Jack Crawford, from Toronto, who trains out of the Whistler Mountain Ski Club., battled damp, foggy race conditions en route to gold in the men’s category at the Whistler Cup, presented by Rio Tinto Alcan, while Riley Seger of North Vancouver and the Whistler Mountain Ski Club took silver, and Vancouver’s Sam Mulligan of the Grouse Mountain Tyee Ski Club earned bronze. 

“It’s great. This is what I’ve been working towards most of the year,” said Crawford, 15, who posted a time of one minute, 1.52 seconds. “The run started off slow out of the start gate, and I felt like it was going very poorly, but coming onto the pitch it got a lot faster and from there it felt good all the way down.” 

Winning on his club’s home hill was especially sweet for Crawford, who skis with the Whistler Mountain Ski Club. 

“It’s exciting. It feels good,” he said. “I’ve had a lot of training on the hill, so I really knew what was coming at me.” 

Seger, also of Whistler Mountain Ski Club, finished just six-hundredths of a second behind Crawford to take silver (1:01.58) after posting the fastest second-interval time of the day. 

“It felt pretty good. I was the first racer on course, so you’re not really sure what’s coming at you and you can’t get a course report from anyone, but it went really well,” said Seger, 15, who was named to Team Canada for this year’s Whistler Cup. “It was little tough to see at the bottom, but other than that I felt like it was good. 

“I’d like to congratulate all my teammates and thank all the volunteers for their hard work,” he added.

Sixteen-year-old Mulligan, who is also racing with Team Canada at the Whistler Cup, was third (1:02.26) after a near fall on the bottom half of the course. 

“It was really fun. The course was a lot easier than I thought it would be, so I ended up going really fast, which is always good,” said Mulligan, who skis with the Grouse Mountain Tyee Ski Club. “Down near the bottom I ended up getting a lot of air going around a gate, and I almost crashed, but I kept it together and I was happy with my result.” 

In the ladies’ super-G – which was delayed intermittently for several hours due to rolling fog – Stephanie Currie of Toronto, Ont., earned silver as the top-placing Canadian (1:05:03). 

“My run was pretty good. It was snowing a bit up top, but the visibility was decent,” said Currie, who skis with the Osler Bluff Ski Club and who was named to Team Canada for this event. “When I got down to the bottom it was a bit misty, but I had a nice line. 

“Even though it’s been bad weather, the race crew has done a fantastic job of keeping the course just the way we like it.” 

Haley McKercher of Calgary, Alta., was third. The Sunshine Ski Club racer, 16, finished in 1:05.24. 

Norway’s Kajsa Lie Vickhoff was the ladies’ super-G winner (1:04.06). 

“It was really good. I had a nice start,” Vickhoff said. “I’ve always dreamed about (a win) at the Whistler Cup.” 

Five other Canadian men and six additional women placed in the top 10, giving Canada 16 top-10 finishes out of a possible 20. 

Nigel Cooper, Alpine Canada’s manager of athlete development, was pleased with the Canadian contingent’s results. 

“As a nation, Canada did pretty good,” he said. “This track is a big boys’ and girls’ track, so I think that familiarity with the track is really important. It’s tough for some of these kids who have only had a few runs on it to gain that familiarity. Certainly we would have liked 100 more runs on the track, but we’re satisfied with today given the experience we’ve had here. 

“We have to push a little harder over the next few days to win the Whistler Cup … we’re on the way, but we want to win more,” Cooper added of Canada’s goal to win the overall Nations’ Cup at the Whistler event. 

U14 racers also took to the slopes Friday to compete in the Kinder Kombi, which was a race that featured turns and skills from multiple racing disciplines.  In the ladies’ race, Canada’s Brianna MacDonald, who skis with the Osler Bluff Ski Club, took gold (42.07), while Japan’s Chelsea Kumono claimed silver (42.57) and Saya Ohkoshi, also of Japan, earned bronze (42.82). 

In the men’s U14 race, Whistler Mountain Ski Club’s Kasper Woolley and Finn Iles were first (41.88) and second (42.39), respectively, and Hunter Watson, who skis with the Camp Fortune Ski Club, was third. (43.13). 

The Whistler Cup, presented by Rio Tinto Alcan, continues on Saturday with men’s giant slalom and ladies’ slalom. The final day of competition is Sunday, which features men’s slalom and ladies’ giant slalom.
