Canada Cup #1- Mt. Tremblant

This weekend was the much anticipated return of the infamous Mt Tremblant Canada Cup track. The vibrant village atmosphere always gives this event a special feel, and this year was no different as the weather was spectacular for the long weekend!

The track is long, rough and physically demanding, it has not changed since we've started racing here. It was the first Canada Cup race for our new team members, thus a big learning experience for Jamie T. and Mike O. Jamie was able to overcome pre- race nerves to finish a strong 10th in the U17 field, an exciting result for Jamie who will still be racing U17 next season!

In the elite class, Harold managed to place 28th and Tom 45th. Mike O. finished mid pack despite coming off his bike in the Junior Expert field and Kyle a little ways back after having issues in his race run.

The team splits next weekend, with our elite racers off to New Jersey for their first ever US Open and the remainder of the team racing the 2nd Provincial Rd.

It was a huge relief to get the first race out of the way for the team. The new Dakine kits arrived just in time, along with our lifelong supply of Beaver Buzz Energy, and the team was stoked!

kit in his first elite race.

The course was fast, dry, and provided plenty airtime for racers. The boys were having a blast and the first Provincial race was a huge success.

Harold takes his first elite win.

In his first U17 race, and his first race with Silent Devinci, Jamie Tice finishes a strong 2nd place to begin his provincial campaign. Tom K. finished 7th in elite, Nick K. 7th in Junior Expert and the rest of the boys will sharpen up for the next Provincial Rd.

See you on the trails!
