Grizzly Cup Recap

3/21/2025

 
Picture
Congratulations to our podium winners, and a big congratulations to this year’s overall Grizzly Cup winners Claire Landero and Lachlan Grecu.
Picture
Last Saturday, our Grizzlies athletes took over Grizzly Gully for the annual Grizzly Cup freeride event. The day kicked off with a venue inspection, followed by one run for each athlete to showcase their skills and impress the judges. The athletes didn’t disappoint, swiftly tackling the venue and finding inventive routes through the trees, as well as taking on bumps and jumps with ease.

​A huge thank you goes out to our volunteers who helped organize the event, crafted the medals, judged, and acted as ski runners. Special thanks to Freeride coaches Liam Morrison for starting the athletes, and Gigi Jacques for announcing and DJ’ing the event.

Freeride Comp Season is a Wrap

3/18/2025

 
Picture
​With comp season coming to a close I want to extend a huge congratulations to all athletes that competed this winter! 

Our club has had an amazing competition season with many great results! Here are some key take aways from this season that I want to bring to light:
  • All of our first-time competitors! I hope now you all have the Freeride bug, continue forging a path outside of your comfort zones with this amazing sport!
  • Our club's first athlete to compete at Freeride Junior Worlds, Sam Ogryzlo ending his Junior career with an amazing 8th place finishing in Austria!
  • Strong club showings at the Kimberley and Castle 2* events! Podiums/ top 5 finishes in pretty much every category at both events.
  • Two athletes currently qualified for the IFSA Junior Freeride Championship, with many more very close to qualifying as well!

Over my three seasons with the club, it has been so inspiring to watch all athletes learn, progress, and build each other up to the high level of competition that is in Freeride today. We see this every weekend at the Lake, but it has also been especially visible at each competition we have attended as a club. I have lost count of how many times I have been approached by coaches from other clubs who have had nothing but great things to say about our athletes. 

Athletes, I am so proud of all of you and you should all be proud of what you accomplished this season!

Keep on crushing it!

Head Competition Coach, Lake Louise Freeride Ski Club

U14 Jay Cup Super-G

3/18/2025

 
Picture
Picture
This weekend, the U14 team competed at Nakiska in the SG Jay Cup series. After putting in a tremendous amount of work over the past few weeks to prepare for the race and overcoming a challenging training day on Friday due to poor snow conditions, the team truly excelled. All athletes finished in the middle of the pack or higher, with several achieving personal bests and overcoming mental barriers associated with SG. A huge shout out to Holly Inglis and Ryan Orchard for earning their personal best results of the season, and Holly was awarded with the “Most Improved” plaque which showcased her ability to attack the race, regardless of her starting position.

Additionally, two athletes had standout performances: Carmen Bullock showed consistent improvement throughout the weekend, securing a win in the final race. Meanwhile, Emilio Hrazdira earned the Jay Cup after three victories over the two days.

The club is extremely proud of the U14 athletes for their determination, resilience, and dedication throughout the season. This weekend, every athlete showcased their growth and passion for the sport, both on and off the race course, and we are excited to see how the rest of the season unfolds for the team!
