After a fun weekend in Kamloops, the team was looking forward to a fun day of racing on our home trails for the annual Black Jack Loppet. Kids of all ages from the club came out for this event and it was great to see everyone having fun out there. Some of the younger skiers in Jackrabbits and Bunnies did a fantastic job skiing fast and doing some long distances. Meanwhile, the older skiers in Junior and Senior Racers used this as an opportunity to start tuning up for Nationals in March. The volunteers did a fantastic job with the timing and race course preparation, as well as with organizing some yummy food for the athletes after the race. Thanks also to the Alpine Grind for providing the hot chocolate. Next weekend, look out for the write-up on the Nelson Kootenay Cup, hot springs included!
