Ten members of a local cross-country ski club descended on the Sun Peaks Resort near Kamloops and strode away with some impressive times at a big race event on Jan. 11.
The ski conditions were excellent and everyone had a great time at the Sun Peaks Kookaburra Cross Country Loppet, says 100 Mile Nordics Ski Society coach Sandy Law.
Emma Law, 10, won first place in a 5-kilometre freestyle race, with a time of 19:50, while Emma Donnelly, 9, finished second place with a time of 19:58.
Allie Donnelly, 7, finished fourth place in a 2-km freestyle race with a time of 14:25.
Brent Ehlers, 17, finished a 15-km freestyle race with a time of 100:19, good enough for 14th place.
“Everyone from our club won door prizes, including a set of skis,” Law adds. “It was a great family event that we will definitely be attending next year.”
