Penticton freestyle skier Brayden Kuroda had a top 15 finish at the FIS Junior World Championship in Italy.

Kuroda finished the dual mogul event in 13th place at the championship (April 5-6), while Team Canada teammate Elliot Vaillancourt (Quebec) won gold.

The skiers battled changing weather conditions and a two hour delay in competition because the weather was making it difficult to see the course.

Vaillancourt also led the men’s ski team with a fifth place finish in the single moguls event. Kuroda took part, but did not finish the event.
