Summit Lake held its club races on Sunday, with a big turnout of well over 100 racers and spectators out to have some fun on a cool winter day.
Three courses were set up for the day — a slalom course and GS course for skiers, and one GS course for snowboarders.
It was the youngest who went first, starting with little four- and five-year-old skiers, some who snow plowed down the course without poles, others accompanied by their mom or dad.
From there it went up through the age groups, to the Nancy Greene racers and then to the high school racers that are heading to Whistler from Mar. 2–5 for the B.C. provincial championships. Last were the older crowd, mostly parents who were out with their kids, but also a few others looking for a chance to ski through the gates when they could.
The Tim Markhold award for fastest high school snowboarder went to Adam Fox. Taylor Aiechele won the John Gleboff award for fastest high school skier. Cheyenne Tourand won the Teanne Jones award for fastest Summit Lake Nancy Green racer.
