Big White Ski Club (BWSC) U12 & U14s enjoyed a terrific weekend of racing and camaraderie at Apex Ski Resort January 17-19.  A total of 29 racers and 7 coaches from BWSC participated in one day of training and two days of racing.  The format was two days of two slalom races each day.

The event was a great success in large part because of the many parents whose volunteer work made the weekend run very smooth.  U12 Coach Kevin Forneris remarked, “It’s always amazing to watch our racers taking what they’ve trained and push their limits in a race.  We saw great skiing, perseverance, and good crashes. It was a great start to the racing season and a real motivator!”
