Maja left for the B.C. Winter Games in Terraceon Wednesday afternoon. They left on a bus for Comox
at 4pm, fly out of Comox at 7pm, arrive in Terrace at 8:30.
Their breakfast is at 6am, then dryland warmup.
They will compete in Giant Slalom on Friday and Slalom
on both Saturday and Sunday. It looks as though they may only
get a single run each day as there is almost no snow on
Shames mountain, which usually has one of the biggest
snow packs in North America.
Opening ceremonies are on Thursday evening and closing
ceremonies on Sunday at 1:30. There will be all kinds
of fun events for the athletes such as swimming,
a video dance party and a hypnotist. The kids all sleep in
classrooms in groups of 20 to 30 kids. There are over 1100
competitors in everything from Badminton to Biathlon
Maja will likely be exhausted coming home. They fly out of
Terrace at 11:50 pm Sunday, arrive in Comox at 1:25 am Monday
and into Campbell River by bus at 2:15 am Monday morning!
Only her Grandpa Craig could be more tired after this trip.
He left on Tuesday morning and is driving up and back,
all by himself just to cheer the kids on.
Now that's dedication.
We will post more information after they return.
