The first Resorts of the Canadian Rockies (RCR) Junior Freeski Series was a huge success this season. The series kicked off with 59 eager competitors between the ages of 7 and 18 at Kimberley Alpine Resort on January 27 and 28. Says Jeff Holden, the head judge of all three competitions, The camaraderie amongst these young freeskiers was inspiring. It was awesome to observe the juniors deepening their relationship with themselves the mountain and each other. The level of skiing was incredible, even more impressive was there ability to ski within their limits, a beautiful celebration of mountain culture. The future of freeskiing is in good hands.
