K2 Westerns


To kick off Spring Break a little early, Sarah and I drove up to Jasper so she could compete in the K2 Western Championships. She was pretty excited about missing a couple of days of school as well as the race!


Jasper was lovely and springlike and the hill the kids raced on was very different from what they are usually racing on, which made for an exciting four days of racing. Most of the team was there, except for Emily, who went to K2 Nationals in Collingwood, and Carson, who went with his family to Hawaii.


It was a big weekend for Sarah's friend, Alex, who won a gold and silver medal. Sarah had three front page finishes and crashed in the first slalom run on the fourth day. Smart girl, however, volunteered to forerun for the afternoon races and pulled off the 2nd fastest time in the ladies' course and 12th on the mens. Not bad!
