It was Summit Lake Racers turn to hold the Nancy Greene Zone race. Saturday, coaches, parents and a lot of volunteers spent the entire day at the hill preparing and making sure everything was ready to go for the early morning start.
Sunday ran perfect. I heard many out of town parents praising our hill for holding such an organized race.
117 racers compete from Summit Lake, Whitewater, Red Mountain and Salmo.
Everyone skied really well. SLR team one placed second, SLR team two placed first and SLR teams three and four both placed 3rd.
U14 racer Mikayla Lewis Morrison placed third on her slalom run. U12 racer Cheyenne Tourand placed second in both her slalom and giant slalom runs and U12 racer Colby Mackintosh placed first on his Giant Slalom run.
It was another day full of big smiles for the Summit Lake Racers.
Thanks again to everyone that helped make the day a success and special thanks to Overwaitea for donating the food and drinks to feed all of those hungry little racers.
Next Sunday is the Summit Lake Club Race. The Club Race is always extra special for our Summit Lake Racers, since they get to watch their parents, siblings and coaches race down the course too. Hopefully there will be a lot of locals registered to race and have fun.
Don't forget Saturday, Feb. 22, will be our last meat draw fundraiser at the Legion. It's $1 per ticket. Draw times are 4, 5 and 6 p.m.
