IT’S A WRAP – Western Canadian Championships a Big Success!

Posted by

The 2019 Kelowna Toyota Western Canadian Championships and Teck Okanagan Cup  were a big success!

The snow conditions were incredible, the racing was competitive and  racers, coaches and volunteers alike  had big but tired smiles by the end of the weekend.

Thanks to all the volunteers.  Without dedicated volunteers this event could not have happened.

Special thanks to the grooming crew –  especially staff groomer Colin Thomson –  for all the late nights and early mornings and for  consistently great trails and grooming.

Thanks to all the racers, coaches and support people for coming to Telemark to contribute to an exciting,  competitive and fun event.

Thanks to all the Telemark Nordic Club members and public skiers for your patience as the event took over the Telemark Nordic Centre for the weekend. Back to normal now.

The Telemark Nordic Club sent a strong contingent of over 50 athletes to compete in the Western Championships and Okanagan Cup. Our Telemark Team athletes had several amazing performances over the weekend including many individual and team relay medals.  Team Telemark contributed greatly to  British Columbia dominating the event and winning the overall Aggregate title over the other Western provinces.  Click here for full Results.
