Red Deer’s Canyon Ski Resort hosts Alberta Winter Games ski events
Some of the best and brightest U14 athletes on the alpine and freestyle ski scenes were at Red Deer’s Canyon Ski Resort this weekend.
Approximately 200 of them were there to unofficially kick off the Alberta Winter Games, which technically get underway Feb. 14 in Airdrie.
Slalom, giant slalom and ski cross events had to be moved ahead and to another venue because of conflicts with the Family Day long weekend.
For 13-year-old Jorja Ottenbreit of Beaumont, competing in the Alberta Winter Games is the culmination of a lot of hard work and sacrifice.
