Racers from all over the province descended on Big White Ski Resort this past weekend, March 17, 18 and 19, to compete in the Teck U14 Provincial Championships. Big White Ski Club hosted a dual race event with athletes running both GS and slalom races on all three days. Along with athletes from 17 ski clubs there were 36 coaches, 40 out of town volunteers and 120 volunteers from the local Big White Ski Club. Needless to say it was a busy three days!
Conditions on Saturday made the event especially difficult, but racers persevered through rain and fog to post top times. Local ski star, Kelsey Serwa, participated at the awards ceremony handing out the medals. Thankfully sunday’s races welcomed the sunshine.
