The loss of Adanac Ski Hill is not slowing
down young downhill racers who continue to represent Sudbury at
Northern Ontario Division (NOD) races throughout the northeast.
At the recent Boréal Cup and NOD race in Timmins, the Greater
Sudbury Ski Club accounted for a number of top finishes and an
overall second-place standing.
In the slalom race, Katie Bissonette won gold
in the women's J-1 (ages 15-16) category.
In the giant slalom race, local skiers won
medals in three categories: J-1 women, Corey Bouffard won gold;
Katie Bissonette; won silver; J1 men, Jason Rinneard won
silver, Jonathan Robinson won bronze; and in the K-2 men (ages
13-14), Jordan Thompson placed third.
"When the city closed Adanac, the club went
on life support. It's a smaller club now but this last race has
given us momentum and we're committed to keeping it going until
the city gets Adanac up and running, says ski club president
Lise Lambert.
