Over the past weekend, the EASX athletes participated in the final race of the O-Cup Series at Beaver Valley Ski Club in Kimberley, Ontario.
Competitors from all over Ontario entered in this awesome event held on a FIS/Nor-Am track. The track was the longest and one of the most demanding tracks that we have seen.
The athletes had a full day of training on the track prior to the event and absolutely loved it.
Afterward, EASX sat down and mapped out the track, determining strategy and a line that proved to be fast.
This provincial event held single athlete time trial qualifications in the morning, where the athletes' times determined their advancements.
All of the EASX athletes advanced to the final heat races in their categories.
Unfortunately, due to the timing of the event, a few EASX athletes were unable to attend and/or participate.
However, EASX's athletes that did compete, put down a solid performance.
EASX's coaches, parents, and affiliations are extremely proud of all of the athletes. The growth that has taken place in just two years is truly amazing. We are excited and look forward to continuing to grow our ski cross family.
