Teck U16 Provincial Speed Championships
Hosted by Whistler Mountain Ski Club
February 15 to 17, 2013
Congratulations and thanks to the Whistler Mountain Ski Club for hosting a superb Teck U16 Provincial Speed Championships!
There were three super-G races for the 62 boys, and two for the 64 girls (one of the girls' competitions was cancelled when fog rolled in). Athletes enjoyed a challenging course and rock-hard conditions on the new Dave Murray Training Centre track (Raven-Ptarmigan).
The Parsons’ Trophies, named after long time race advocate and supporter Bob Parsons, were awarded to defending Parsons’ Champion Mikayla Martin, and Riley Seger, both from the Whistler Mountain Ski Club.
The overall winners of the 2013 Parsons championships were two WMSC racers; Riley Seger for the men and defending champ Mikayla Martin for the ladies.
Congratulations to both Seger and Martin, and to all of the athletes that tested their speed skills on the amazing Dave Murray National Training Center.

One of the highlights of the three-day event was Sunday's ski cross race. It was a "4-up team event"; four racers on the track at one time, but racing as a team. The 3rd racer to cross the finish line stopped the clock and determined the team's time.
Here are the ski cross team results:

FLASH QUOTES – Women's BC Ski Team at Nakiska Van Houtte Super-G
Charley Field (BC Team/Whistler Mountain Ski Club)
"It was another good day for a super-G race and the snow was perfect. I know I needed to clean up a few turns on the pitch from yesterday and I felt I did just that. I am happy that we all did so great this week, with each of us on the team making it onto the podium at least once."
Sarah Elliot (BC Team/Big White Racers)
“After the Osisko Speed camp and Nor-Am race in Apex last week, I am feeling much more comfortable skiing at high speeds. Today in my winning run I focused on letting the skis run and pushing the line, so I'm happy I was able to ski more aggressively. It was beautiful weather at Nakiska, and it was fun to stand next to my teammates on the podium!
Sarah Freeman (BC Team/Fernie Alpine Ski Team)
“It’s been a successful series at Nakiska, the snow was perfect for these SG races and the weather was nice and tame. I am finally getting my race legs under me and I can't wait for the second half of the season!
Hallie MacLachlan (BC Team/Fernie Alpine Ski Team)
“What a relief to get a solid race series under my belt! Today was definitely a "just go with it" kind of day with a very turny set, both on the pitches and on the long flats. Despite a few mistake,s I am very happy with this series and am excited for what has yet to come.
Emma King (BC Team/Whistler Mountain Ski Club)
"Today I was working on being aggressive and I think by the last run I figured it out. I ended up with a 5th place, 2nd U18. It was great to see my teammates do well and be constantly on the podium!”

What I’ve learned as a ski racer mom
Last week I was at Apex for the NorAm Speed events. Over the past 7 years with a ski racing daughter, I’ve acquired many skills, some of which I really don’t really want and others that I wouldn’t want to live without. I thought I would just share some of those things.
I can put up and take down Barry and crowd control nets (they are different, you know). I know how to roll them properly. I know that when putting up nets, it’s best to be the holder of the drill (if the guys will allow it) as it’s the easiest job. I know that I can’t carry a rolled up net down the hill on skis without hurting myself. It’s a job for the men and athletes.
I know how to gate judge, be a starter, a finish ref, a chief of gates, how to work a radio, how read a results sheet and see who “scored”, make lunches, put panels on gates, set up timing eyes, do intervals…… I know more about ski racing than I ever wanted to know, quite frankly!
All these skills are brilliant but the following are the most important:
-
I can’t make a big enough batch of Mac’n Cheese or Sticky Toffee Pudding when cooking for the girls.
-
It’s best not to let the boys’ team know that you’re cooking for the girls’ team.
-
It’s best to be at the bottom of the course beyond the scary parts above, if they make it that far, the rest is easy and they all look good. (it’s nice to see them all looking “in control”)
-
It’s better to be at the race than watching live timing.
-
It’s better if you can keep your eyes open when your child goes by.
-
It’s great if you can get hold of or be near a radio while the race is on.
-
The more athletes you get to know, the more you have to worry about.
-
No matter how many races I watch, I never stop being grateful that I am involved and that all the athletes are safe or at least well looked after at the end of the day.
-
The people that work at the races; parents, coaches and volunteers are an amazing group of people. There aren’t a more caring group of people trying their best to make the course safe and fair. Thanks to everyone that has worked at a race this year or plans to do so
See you at the next race,
from the Other Karen Gardner (mom of BC Team athlete Emma King)

FLASH QUOTES
Sarah Freeman – 1st (BC Team, Fernie Alpine Ski Team)
"First win of the season. Even though it didn't happen at a Nor Am like I was planning, it still feels really good to finally stand back on that top step."
Sarah Elliot – 2nd (BC Team, Big White Racers)
"It's exciting to see so many athletes from the BC team have great results today! For me, this race series is a great opportunity to try different approaches. I made a step in the right direction today towards my goal of skiing more aggressively. Thanks to all the volunteers for putting on an awesome Valentine’s Day race!
Charley Field – 3rd (BC Team, Whistler Mountain Ski Club)
"Today was a great day for a race with the sun shining and hard snow. I went in with a plan of good technical skiing and I thought I did just that. I am happy for everyone on our team today who made the top ten.”
Hallie MacLachlan – 4th (BC Team, Fernie Alpine Ski Team)
"Finally! I feel like this season I have been tackling this, changing and challenging that, to improve my skills to get me where I want to be, at the top of the podium. Unfortunately it's taken a lot of time to get a solid finish out of me this year. After a couple of really good days of skiing in Apex I came to these Van Houtte races confident with my skiing and it came together for me today."
