Ontario Ski Team – Silver Star Camp
By the time we first arrived at our rental house in Silver Star near Vernon B.C. It was 6:00 pm local time, snowing, windy, dark, cold, and obviously great time to ski! So we did, even though we had spent hours traveling and hadn’t eaten our dinner! It was a grand gesture that completely embodied the commitment all past and present Ontario Ski Team

Sovereign Lake NorAm – Ontario Update and Results
The first races of the 2009-10 Haywood NorAm Canada Cup Series are succesfully in the books with some excellent results from Ontario skiers. Racing at Sovereign Lake is always a challenging way to start the season. Eastern racers typically have very limited time on snow compared to the Western skiers and the altitude makes the tough courses even more challenging. Many teams from Ontario made their annual trip to Silver Star for the week leading up to the races for a training camp

Len Valjas: My Shot at the Olympics
From lennyvaljas.blogspot.com -:- The remaining spots on the Olympic team will be decided at 4 races in the space of 11 days. The first qualifier was a 15km skate (interval start) at Silver Star, B.C. I love this distance! I felt great that morning having overcome a chest cold earlier that week. I was off to a fast start and never felt better. After 5km I wasn’t tired, and the splits I got, let me know that I was within 10 sec of the leader

From XCOttawa.ca -:- The first NorAm races are done! The stakes were high for Saturday’s race as it was the Olympic Trials as well as the trials for the Canmore World Cup in early February. Gord Jewett and Dasha Gaiazova were the top Canadians and while nobody really knows, their results could give them a berth in the Olympics. XC Ottawa had four skiers competing this weekend. Saturday’s race was a 10/15km skate race.

Sean Crooks: Tweet Tweet Boom
From www.seancrooksonline.com -:- As I sit down to write in my blog, I think back to the events of the weekend in Silver Star. As usual in the Star, it was a great week of training and racing at an unbelievable venue. Considering that I am not a strong distance skater, I had a decent 15km. The sprint was a solid race, getting on the podium.

By Len Valjas -:- I’ve been in Silverstar for over a week now. I had a great week of skiing. There is a ton of snow here, and it just keeps on falling. The skiing has been amazing all week. It was a hard week of training for me. I skied twice a day everyday, followed by some shinny hockey on the pond most nights.

By Jordan Cascagnette -:- My first two races of the season are now in the books, having the Alberta Cups 1 and 2 this past weekend here in Canmore. They started off on Saturday with classic sprints, which did not go quite as I had hoped. I ended up leaving too much time between my warm up and the start of my qualifier, so by the time it was my turn to go the effects of my warm up had worn off quite a bit.
