2011 Junior Canadian Open

Once again the Canadian Open has come and gone.  This year I was coaching the Red Freeski Academy rather than competing which was quite a big change, but still fun nonetheless.  Everyone killed it but my favourite runs were skied by Xander Sterpin, Keegan Capel, and George Rodney - watch out for these guys! 

On Saturday we were rewarded for our 7AM rise with a beautiful sunrise atop Granite mountain - I snapped these photos.

The sun rose, kids tore Link's apart, then I took a late afternoon lap through the pits with the boys.  Large thanks to Vinzzzzzzzzzzzzenz Keller for theses next photos!
