Rowan Wiens and Matthew Leach (along with his guide, Chase Ferguson) will be competing for Team B.C. in the para-category, and Amy Milne has been chosen to the Team B.C. women’s squad that will participate at the Canada Winter Games.
The athletes include 14 alpine skiers and three para skiers from seven club across the province. The events are scheduled from Feb. 28- March 5.
“We have a solid crew and I like our chances,” said Johnny Crichton, the BC Alpine VP. “These are talented and competitive skiers in this group so let’s see what happens.”
At the Canada Winter Games, more than 3,600 athletes, managers and coaches from 20 sports will compete at the largest mult-sport event in the country.
