TECK OKANAGAN ZONE SPEED CAMP & ZONE DOWNHILL RACE
Silver Star Mountain Resort, hosted by the Vernon Ski Club - February 5 - 7, 2016
Thanks to everybody for pitching in and making it a great weekend for the athletes - seeing lightweight U12's go down the 1829 metre track and then the more seasoned U16/U18's, one appreciates the growth and changes in the athletes over the years. Many VSC members stepped into new ROC roles and learned a few things - so kudos for taking the plunge. A big thanks to our non-VSC vollies for helping out!
VSC welcomed Big White and Prince George, while enticing a couple of die-hard athletes from Apex and Revelstoke (who had been down the track before and remembered how fun it was) back for more.
The course ran well even with some light snow on race day. This is the same track used in the famed "Over-the-Hill-Downhill" event at Vernon's Winter Carnival. Many thanks to SilverStar for ongoing support of the event and Alpine Ski Racing in BC!
