Conditions were fast and hard on course on Kritsi’s Run the first day of the Toyo Canadian Selections moguls event on day one of the weekend event at Apex Mountain Resort Saturday.

According to Josh Kober, head coach of the BC Freestyle Ski team moguls team his athletes, including a number of Penticton and Okanagan skiers, turned in a solid performance halfway through the day.

“The girls have already competed and we have two girls in the final,” he said during a break in the action on the hill.
