Got any extra 218s kicking around? Just wondering...do you have any Viking horns to spare?Every Spring since 1984, the search for gear ensues as people ready themselves for Canadall surely surface to help install B-net or show up for a warm up run down the track.An all-inclusive event, the Schuss Boomer is a chance for present-day SSSC team members, never-ever-raced-before folks, skiers and snowboarders of varying abilities, snow-bladers and the most competitive bunch, our BC Alpine, North Zone, and Smithers Ski Club present-day athletes and alumni to test their mettle as they launch from the same start ramp. Ages 10-99 welcome!The biggest advantage of being ski racing alumni is perhaps yout win on that alone. The need to carry speed is critical in this event, therefore you want to weigh more than the next guy - so have some extra gravy with that mountain of poutine!But theres all about. ~ Excerpts from Ski Canada article by Claire Challen, Fall 2014 IssuePhoto left: Coby Hall - Nice Start!
