I went on a road trip just before Christmas to see Daniel's first FIS race held at Panorama Resort near Invermere, B.C. I also met up with my brother Barry and wife Fran from Calgary to ski Mt. Mackenzie at Revelstoke. It's a mountain with great potential and lots of vertical. As the temperature was hovering around -30 C at both areas we had to watch out for frostbite. It was the same at Panorama a day later and the GS race on the 20th was postponed a day. We both had boys in the races with Barry and Fran supporting Philip and myself, Daniel. Daniel managed a best result of 29th in the Slalom (out of 132 and I think he should be ok with that as his first race in the bigger leagues.
My congratulations to Gordon Bagan, Race Chair of the BC Miele Cup and the entire Race Organizing Committee (ROC) on pulling off a great event under very cold conditions. It has been awhile since I was at Panorama and the scenery still struck me as breathtaking or maybe it was the altitude! Here are some snaps.
