On Sunday January 30th, 45 Big White Ski Club (BWSC) athletes attained great results at the Nancy Greene South Zone Race hosted by the Apex Ski Club. Since this was the first race for the region since pre-Covid, it made this the FIRST RACE EVER for many of the kids attending.

The event was combined gender, best result of two runs, modified dual slalom race (g-lalom) for athletes ages 6-11. The weather cooperated, with mild temps and sunny skies, to allow for great snow conditions and happy young racers. BWSC filled the top of the podium in every age category!
