Hemlock Race

The second race of the season was at Hemlock B.C.

This was a Slalom & Giant Slalom event for the K1 racers.

This was another Coast Zone event with Whislter, Cypress

Grouse and others among the attending teams.

Only Maja's Grandpa was with her on this trip and we haven't

viewed actual times or results other than we were

told Maja placed in the top half of the field for all

her runs. As always this includes 1st and 2nd year K1's

so she has also placed very well at this event. We have not seen

a breakdown for her age group only for this event.

The goal at this stage in her competitive career is to place well

and reduce her points to improve her start position at these races.

Having start positions towards the bottom of the pack is the

biggest hurdle to get over for first year competitors.

It is a huge disadvantage as the course gets severly

rutted out as the field of skiers runs through.

The star first year K1 at this event was Kole Harle

of Campbell River. He placed third , which is an outstanding

achievement at this level. All of the Mt. Washington

competitors placed well in this event and were

able to reduce their points, which means they

raised their standings.

Dinner time.

Couldn't leave this one out as we're

sure Mr. Logan Frame would be

very upset if it was.
