10th Annual Club Slopestyle Championship One of the Best

Over eighty of Beaver Valley’s snowboarders and freeskiers along with dozens of friends and family took full advantage of the best park day of the year for the Club Slopestyle Championships. The 10th annual event enjoyed bluebird skies, mild temps and a full featured Playground park loaded with jumps, boxes, rails and transition features for all levels from six year mini-shreds to 68 year old legends.

With spectators cheering, music pumping, BBQ firing, and play-by-play announcer calling the action it was as much a party in the park as it was a friendly comp with everyone cheering each other on! Fun vibes all the way around! Over $3,000 in prizes were handed out at the awards plus a bib draw for Skullcandy headphones.

Gummy Bear House League Race #3 Sunday, February 7, 2016

Aviary Photo_130993676241782213What a thrill for some of these young racers to go head to head, on a track, down the new X course at the bottom of True North! Each run proved better than the next, as confidence grew and skis started to come out of a “pizza” and into more parallel “French fries”. Our coaches even tried their luck, along with a few daring parents who got to the bottom and wanted to try it again.
A huge thank you to Mark Young, course setter extraordinaire, for a challenging, safe run that ages 4 to 100 could enjoy. Another big thanks to starter Clarity Nicoll who entertained the teams at the top with such antics as, “So here’s Adam….. listen closely as he sings Adele” OR “Who do you think can do a better cartwheel – Clarity or Adam?”
And of course we can’t forget our other coaches Matt, Grant, Lean, Tamara, Meg, Taylor, Abby, Genevieve and Kevin who outdid themselves rounding up racers at the bottom, safely getting them up and off the chairs, and leading their team cheers!

Well done to team Crimson Cardinals for their outstanding cheer with full team participation!
Some special awards this week went to Fall girl: Ella Roland, Fall guys: Curtis Defoe and James Langstaff AND best of all, winner of the Lost Tooth on the Way Down the Course award: Charlie Young.
For the first time in Gummy Bear History, results had teams only 1 point apart at the end of the day.
1 Fandango Firebirds 18
2 Fern Falcons 17
3 Blue Jays 16
4 Crimson Cardinals 15
5 Teal Thunderbirds 14
See you for the final race, featuring panel gates, on Sunday, February 21.

Beaver Valley Ski Club Announcement, President Tim Topornicki

The Board of Directors has been focusing its attention lately on a plan to replace the Hutchinson Triple Chair, as well as to enhance the Club’s snowmaking capabilities.

Over the next few weeks, we will have Town Hall style meetings to discuss the various possibilities, and we expect there to be robust discussions on the hill and in the Clubhouse about this plan as well.

Town Hall Meetings are scheduled as follow in the Senior Member’s Lounge:

Sunday February 14, 2016 1:30pm

Sunday February 28, 2016 10am

It’s time to celebrate our Snow School achievements

In the 25th anniversary book and to date Beaver Valley has a rich and renowned tradition of being the ‘Best in the Province’ for Snow School performance. Beaver Valley past directors, Hall of Fame recipients, Pros & Snow School directors have all played a role in placing Beaver Valley on the map.
Following the curriculum of the Canadian Ski Instructor Alliance (CSIA), Canadian Alliance of Snowboard Instructors (CASI) and Canadian Ski Coaching Federation (CSCF) our Pros advance their own skill and apply that knowledge and finesse to each class that they are out in front of. When the Pros tour to other clubs or go on their next certification level they stand out of the crowd as proud ambassadors for our club.
In the past 10 years our Recreation (Snowschool) crew has graduated numerous CSIA, CSCF & CASI Level I & II. To complete your Level III & Level IV requires an increased dedication of time & skill, mileage and experience. Our team has sent 10 CSIA and CASI to the Level IV course in the past few years.

It’s amazing that we have celebrated the Level IV graduation of Ben Boriss, Mark Young and Dano Harris!

Today we shine further –Mark Young is on his Level IV Rookie! Meaning that at the end of this week we have the first Pro for Beaver Valley Ski Club, in recent history that is certified to evaluate and bring along other Pros to the highest level of CSIA – the Level IV.

Race #2 Gummy Bear House League January 24, 2016

Mother Nature was much kinder to our young racers on Sunday with lots of fun on Cat’s Meow for a dual slalom down the rollers and over the spine. Parents lined the race course and some even tried their luck at the tricky, tight course with many laughs when their feet wouldn’t work fast enough to get between the gates. Getting your feet to move your skis quickly is a great skill to develop and the young racers did a wonderful job of trying to improve  on each run.
We had some fun thrills and spills and our fall guys were: Logan Cunningham, Grayson Mitchell, Ethan McQueen, Benjamin Lopez and Ben Rayner. Our one fall girl was reserved for coach Meg Paterson, who did a complete 360 to win a 10 point score from the judges!
The teams that did well were the ones who could successfully navigate the course and go through all the gates.

Standings:
1 Crimson Cardinals 13 points

2 Teal Thunderbirds 11 points

3 Fern Falcons 8 points

4 Blue Jays 5 points

5 Fandango Firebirds 4 points
Don’t forget to work on your team cheer, which will be presented at awards on Week #3 – February 7th.

Welcome back Katrina Gerencser!

Katrina has been a long time member of Beaver Valley. She started snowboarding at the age of 8, in 2002. She joined the Beaver Valley Snowboard Race Team in 2004, and began to compete in Ontario and in Western New York. After 5 years with Beaver Valley she moved to the Ontario Snowboard Club. She took a slight hiatus while attending Metalworks Institute, taking Recording Engineering and Sound Production and Event Management.

Katrina kept involved by volunteering at Beaver Valley to mentor young riders, and compete where she could.  After some great results on the NorAm tour last winter and graduating this season she decided to dedicate a full year to snowboard racing.  Results from the first NorAm PSL races of the year at Echo Mountain in Colorado, earned her spots at the first few World Cup Races where she has taken off to become one of Canada’s top athletes on the international stage.

Welcome Katrina home on Saturday January 30th 4pm in the Victory Centre.

Royal Canadian Dragoons Training at the Top of the Ski Hill, October 21-22 & 27-28

The Royal Canadian Dragoons will be conducting training during Exercise WALKING DRAGOON between October 21-28, 2015 within the Meaford area and on land surrounding the Beaver Valley Ski Club, particularly at the top of the ski hill.  During this timeframe, the focus of the exercise will be on basic reconnaissance crewman soldier skills up to level 4 dry.  While personal weapons will be available and carried by all soldiers, there is no intent to issue blank ammunition during the rural manœuvre area ( RMA) portion of EX WALKING DRAGOON. The soldiers have offered to show folks what they are doing if you are in the area.
