B.C. Masters make their points

The snowy conditions last weekend provided skiers in the B.C. Masters Championships with an extra challenge, impairing visibility and making the course choppy in sections.

The snowy conditions last weekend provided skiers in the B.C. Masters Championships with an extra challenge, impairing visibility and making the course choppy in sections.

A good aprés party on Saturday afternoon and fresh powder on Sunday also diminished the field by more than 20 skiers.

Local racers, including a few that are more than 75 years of age, made the most of it, however, and posted some excellent times in the giant slalom on Saturday and the slalom on Sunday.
