Fortnight Awards

Nominate, Nominate, Nominate. Highlight your coaches, your athletes, your volunteers, and your officials. The next installment of The Fortnight Awards is coming up soon! Don't miss the opportunity to take a moment and nominate someone deserving.

We are in the thick of the 2003 season and the GMC Envoy Raffle is in deep as well. Clubs around the province are encouraged to drive ticket sales this season. Ben Conway of Prince George won the early bird draw but it's anybody's guess who will drive away in a brand new 2003 GMC Envoy March 22, 2003 in Whistler.

So, your mission is simple: sell your tickets and nominate those deserving in your club!

The mountain generously donated the run all week so 150 K's and J's from 13 clubs around the province could get a chance to work on their DH and Super G skills. Over 2000 runs down the “Broadway” track and no major injuries. Thank you Sun Peaks for closing the run, posting a patrol at the top and the great grooming. Also a huge thank you to Doug Mear who came down from Prince George and donated his time for 6 days to TD (Technical Delegate) the event.
