2019 Canada Winter Games - Ski Nova Scotia Success!

To the Ski Nova Scotia community,
 
On behalf of Ski Nova Scotia and the Board of Directors I would like to congratulate our 2019 Canada Winter Games athletes and coaching staff for a job well done.

Despite the bitter cold of Red Deer, our Nova Scotian athletes did extremely well. Skier Brenda MacDonald with Stephen her Father as her guide won a silver medal in the PARA GS setting the tone for our team.

During the week of competition Ski Nova Scotia had a top ten finisher in every event but one! We also had multiple top 20 finishes throughout.

In the final event with two Ski NS athletes in the Ski Cross final (half of the field), Shane Sommer took the gold medal passing the leader on a jump before the final turn. Shane broke his poles in in a previous run and borrowed poles from a fellow Quebec racer for the finals, which shows the true spirit of the Canada Games. Cole Fraser came in fourth place in the same event as well! This was Team Nova Scotia’s only gold medal during the games.

This was the best set of results Nova Scotian skiers have ever achieved at the Canada Winter Games. Not only is the ski racing community of Nova Scotia proud but the entire province is proud of our athletes’ accomplishments at the Canada Games.

Words cannot express how proud we are of the entire team. Congratulations to all the athletes and coaching staff for a job well done.
 
Thank you,

Brian Carter
President – Ski Nova Scotia
