Hemlock Race

The K1's travelled to Hemlock Resort, northwest of Harrison Hot Springs, for competition on January 14,15 &16. Unfortunately this event did not run smoothly and the competitors were left with 2 gs runs for the girls and one for the boys on the Saturday with all other runs cancelled due to weather and ski lift malfunctions. This was supposed to be six events over three days. The Friday races were cancelled due to rain and from the sounds of it a lack of organization. Saturday saw two runs for the girls and one for the boys due to issues with the chair lift and weather. Sunday events were cancelled due to weather and failure of the chairlift. This was a very disappointing trip for the team as a lot of effort and expense goes into training and travelling for these events. Maja placed well in her first run at 10th and 12th in her second run. Her team mate Keegan McCooey placed 28th in her first run and an impressive 4th in her second. The boys also skied well in their one Giant Slalom run. Liam Gilchrist 4th, Logan Frame 10th, Robbie Yelland 11th and Kole Harle missed a gate on his run. Maja's ever faithful grandpa travelled with the team to Hemlock but due to the foul weather and the heavy work load for the few volunteers he didn't manage any photos or videos for this event.
