The BC High School Provincial Ski and Snowboard Championships wrap up in Smithers today. (Wednesday)
The tournament was originally scheduled to happen at Mount Washington in Courtenay, but had to switch venues due to unpredictable winter weather.
“If we weren’t able to put it on up here then provincials wouldn’t have happened for these kids and that would have been really sad,” said Lex Rei-Jones, Hudson Bay Mountain General Manager.
Races started on Monday with competitors from across the province which Rei-Jones said has been going well.
“We actually hosted the U14 Provincial Championships last year which went amazing and have hosted BC High School twice before this in 2019 and 2013,” she added.
The resort is hoping to host the championships again in the future and are glad snow conditions have continued to be favourable.
“Our hearts really go out to the ski hills that are struggling and dealing with the unpredictable winters we’ve had these past few years,” said Rei-Jones.
No other tournaments are currently scheduled for the rest of this season.
