(CALABOGIE, ON) – April 3rd, 2019 — From March 28-31 the Calabogie Ski Racing Club (CSRC) hosted the inaugural U16 Eastern Finals. Over 100 athletes from Ontario, Quebec, Eastern Canada and the Eastern United States participated in three (almost four) days of racing including the first ever Ski Cross at a finals event.
Mother Nature arrived in full force with sun, rain and snow; the area received more than 10cm of snow on Sunday and the CSRC race crew worked tirelessly as they always do to prepare the track. Unfortunately, there was just too much snow and final race of the series was cancelled.
There were many highlights over the four days including the first ski cross event, a presentation from Olympian JP 
Roy about his skiing career and the traditional Calabogie ‘tug of war’ and smores stations at the banquet.
On Friday, 230+ students in grades 3-6 from local schools participated in a free, fun learn to ski day where they had the opportunity to try some ski race skills stations, interact with the athletes and watch the ski cross race. For most of the students, this was their first introduction to alpine skiing and for others, it was the opportunity to improve their skills. This day was made possible with support from the Province of Ontario, the Canadian Ski Council, and Calabogie Peaks Resort.
The Eastern U16s Finals would not have been possible without the support of our sponsors and all of the Calabogie Ski Racing Club parents, coaches, athletes, and alumni who installed B-net, prepared the course, filled the race day roles, fed volunteers, hosted our 230+ students and provided the 
leadership on and off hill to ensure a safe and fun-filled four days of ski racing! Lastly, the Club and AOA would also like to thank Daryl Kramp, MPP Hastings-Lennox and Addington and Mayor of the Township of Greater Madawaska Brian Hunt who enjoyed the Ski Cross races and presented awards to the ski cross winners.
