The Mt. Washington team was in Whistler Dec 18-19 for the first race of the season. Unfortunately due to the number of competitors it was decided the skiers would only get one run for each event, slalom and giant slalom. Normally there would be two runs for each event. Maja had two good results even though she was not satisfied with anything less than a podium. Pappa had promised he would take care of all her ski tuning for the season if she finished in the top ten and now Pappa spends his evenings tuning Maja's race skis.
In the GS Maja placed 11th at 43.79 sec and her team mate Keegan McCooey came in 12th at 44.63 sec.
In the slalom Maja placed 9th at 50.74, edged out by Keegan by 3/10 of a second at 50.47 for 8th place.
The boys also had excellent results.Kole Harle placed 3rd in GS and 5th in slalom.
Logan Frame placed 4th in GS and skied out in his slalom run.
Liam Gilchrist placed 8th in GS and 4th in slalom.
Robbie Yelland placed 11th in GS and 14th in slalom.
There were 42 boys and 39 girls competing at the K1 level.
Awards!
