A West Kelowna-based telemark ski team is sending three of its best skiers to the Canada Winter Games Trials in February.
Breagh Bridge, Ian Mayer and Garrett Siever got the call based on their performances at the recent Teck BC Cup in Whistler.
Siever who won the Classic Sprint competition, claiming his spot at the finish line, while his two teammates performed well in the Distance Skate, qualifying in the knick of time.
“We are proud of the strong showing of our team at Team BC’s Canada Winter Games trials,” said head coach Chris Halldorson.
“These races were held on the same courses as the 2010 Winter Olympics and the upcoming 2023 World Junior Championships under some really gruelling conditions due to wet, heavy snow and rain. Now that the trials are complete, we can focus on preparing for the event in Brookvale.”
Out of 37 skiers representing Team Telemark, 10 of them snagged a podium finish with four golds, two silvers and four bronze.
The 2023 Canada Winter Games Trials takes place in PEI starting February 18.
