The Western Canadian Championships were held at Silverstar Resort February 18-20. This is an event which requires qualification to attend and all six of our local K1 athletes qualified to compete. Competition was fierce, there are no weak skiers at the Westerns and any placement in the top half of the field is a respectable result, simply qualifying to attend is an achievement. Each province and zone has a selection criteria to fill their quota of competitors for the event. There are four zones in B.C. and the quota of 40 male and 40 female skiers is shared among the four zones. The Western Championships includes clubs from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Yukon, Alberta and B.C., each with their own zones and quotas.
Maja had an overall strong event with her results improving with each event.
Day one saw her place 39th and 41st in her two GS runs, teamate Keegan McCooey 54th & 57th.
Day two Maja had excellent results of 26th & 25th in her slalom runs, Keegan 41st and a DSQ in her second run.
On the final day Maja put in a very impressive 15th place in the Kombi event, Keegan placed 25th! These are both awesome results. These are the best skiers in Western Canada!
The Mt.Washington boys also put in amazing results for such a high caliber event.

Liam Gilchrist- GS 24&14, Slalom DNF&DNF, Kombi DNF
