Red Deer Ski Club hosts successful competition in advance of Winter Games
Young skiers from across the province gathered at Canyon Ski Resort near Red Deer last weekend to compete in the Alberta North U21 Regional Giant Slalom Race hosted by the Red Deer Ski Club (RDSC).
Red Deer Ski Club president Lyle Johnson says skiers ranged in age from 12-21 and took part in two runs on Saturday and two runs Sunday.
“It’s two races effectively on each day,” explains Johnson. “We had about 80 participants in our race this year. Most of the participants came from clubs from Red Deer, Sunridge Edmonton Ski Club, Rabbit Hill, Parkland, Cold Lake and Fort McMurray.”
Johnsons says it’s the only race the Red Deer Ski Club is hosting this season and a big event on the ski club calendar.
