The Mt. Washington Ski Club held its first race of the season on January 13-15. The K1 (ages 10-12) event attracted 85 skiers from the Coast  Mountains, including Seymour, Cypress, Hemlock, Grouse and Whistler.

For many, this race was a qualifier for the BC Winter Games which led to quite a competitive event for the young athletes.  Skiers participated in 5 races – three Giant Slaloms and two Slaloms over the weekend. Nine members of the MWSC participated with impressive results,considering all are in their first year of the K1 program and were skiing against more experienced racers.

Kieran Harley, 10, from Victoria completed all five races in icy conditions and consistently placed in the top 20. Jared Perras, 11, from
Campbell River received two top 10 placements, a tenth and seventh in GS.  Other results included Sylvie Nymann (29th Slalom), Jamie Needham (14th GS), Calvin Cotton (27thGS), Reine Minter (8th GS and Slalom), Zariya Djurickovic (29th Slalom), Heather Ellard-Webster (32nd Slalom) and Taylor Nixon-Smith (27th GS).
