The Tigers are Provincial Champions! Congratulations on another ski title, and special thanks to the coaches.

Here’s an update from Coach Ruse from day one of the Alpine Provincials in Revelstoke:

After two cold days on the hill, our snowboarders have done well. Sophie is sitting in 10th overall and has boarded extremely well. Silvia has raced very well. Our two Grade 8 snowboarders, Selina and Cici, have made huge progress and have shown obvious growth in their snowboarding abilities. They are all having fun and looking forward to their 2nd day of racing!

Our skiers have absolutely dominated the field and have posted some tremendous results. Rosie placed 1st overall in the GS today (1st in the Province!), Meg placed 2nd, Arizah 5th, and Amelia is in 10th. All 6 of our girls have won their seeds and the team easily took the Giant Slalom portion of the competition.

Ski & Snowboard Team Update

The Ski & Snowboard Team have just finished their last regular season competition. Here’s a recap from Coach Ruse:

While conditions have been anything but good this year, the girls have maintained the tradition of York House skiing by dominating all our league races. The girls raced again on Friday, Jan. 30th and looked great. Sophie was the lone boarder but lay down a remarkable run and looks poised to defend her zone championship from last year. The skiers were again solid, with Rosie taking the day, followed by Arizah, Meg, and Amelia. It was also cool to see the different grades building relationships as this is one of the few sports where all the grades compete together.

We have our Zone Championships on Feb 16th and will be fielding the largest team we’ve ever had (25 girls!). We then compete in a TerrainGS competition on the 20th of February in preparation for the TerrainGS that will happen at Provincials.
