Athletes to Watch	James Boudreau (Nova Scotia) - The martime province of Nova Scotia climbed into the top ten with a 10th place finish in Wednesday's giant slalom event at Mount Sima. The finish engineered by James Boudreau, was accomplished in a field typically dominated by the four larger alpine provinces. The Nova Scotian broke that pattern with a technically solid performance. Kelsey Nilson (Saskatchewan) - Kelsey broke into the top 15, with a 14th place finish in Wednesday's women's giant slalom, which put the prairie province in the mix amongst its vertically dominant counterparts. Kelsey's placement was part of a strong Saskatchewan team effort that also saw men's giant slalom results from Jaden Jamieson, 17th, and Kent Montgomery, 19th, that will certainly bolster the Saskatchewan provincial effort at the Canada Winter Games.
Next Competition	Quebec, known for its slalom prowess, will be a major contender as both individuals and as a team in Thursday's slalom event. The slalom will be held at the alpine venue at Mount Sima with the morning run for women starting at 10:00 am, followed by the men at approximately 11:00 am. The final medal run, based on the combined time of the two runs, will be held at 1:00 pm for the women and 2:00 pm for the men. The weather is once again expected to be warm and sunny, which made for a fantastic spectator opportunity for Wednesday's giant slalom.
