Rio Tinto Alcan Nancy Greene Ski League

The Okanagan Zone Finals were held at Big White Ski Resort this weekend. Saturday saw 127 competitors aged 5-8yrs old race and Sunday the 111 older competitors, aged 9-11yrs, skied their way down Big White’s Paradise run.

Trevor Haaheim, Head Coach & Program Director for Big White Racers, was thrilled with how the event went, “An incredible weekend, the weather, competitors, spectators and coordination by Big White Ski Resort made for a great event. It was all hands on deck from Ski School, Ski Patrol, the Groomers, Events Staff and volunteers, and we were so pleased with the organization, set up and timing crews.

Our goal was that every child got the opportunity of two race runs, so every racer had results and every year of birth was awarded.

Everything went according to plan and the kids came through with great results and without injuries. This awards ceremony now owns the title of being the most fun and having the biggest crowd in attendance in Nancy Greene Zone history.

A great team effort produced 300 smiles on 300 faces!!”
