Manitoba Cup 6
Holiday Mountain Ski Resort, La Riviere, MB
March 4th, 2012




Manitoba Cup 6 was a promising race for team WAR (Winnipeg Alpine Racers). The course was set to be fast on the otherwise slow pitch. The runs where underway and we were quickly reeling in spots on the podium. The slalom course was finished in an average of 28-33 seconds by males and females. Winnipeg Alpine Racers ended up with Bryant and Alexis both earning gold medals. The silver medalists where Anthea and Charles. Then Spencer completed the day with a bronze.

MB Cup 4 & 5
Asessippi Ski Area and Resort
February 26, 2012

It was a cold morning on 26 February 2012. The mood was tense, yet light-hearted, as everyone was excited about the race that day. People were receiving their bibs and start number. Following that, people went out to warm-up and begin course inspection. All too soon, the race started, around 10:15, antemeridian (a.m.). The first of two super-G runs that morning, which would be classified as part of the super-G race (MB Cup 4), and the super-combined race (MB Cup 5). Following the first two runs, everyone ventured inside for lunch. Following lunch, everyone returned to the hill to begin a sole slalom run, which, when the time from the slalom, combined with both super-G runs from the morning, would form the time from the Super-Combined. The members of our club did quite well in the race, with Anthea Roulston getting 3rd place (GS and SC, K2), followed by Alexis Varkonyi receiving 2nd place (GS and SC, J1), Alex Campbell achieving 3rd place (GS and SC, K2), Spencer Michie acquiring the 3rd(GS, J1) and 2nd (SC, J1) places, and myself receiving 2nd (GS, J1) and 3rd (SC, J1). Everyone had a fantastic time, and did a wonderful job.
