Freestyle
Third stop on the Nor-Am Tour in Calgary, Alberta Canada this week. This is by no means an easy course as it replicates a similar pitch to the ski jumps at Calgary Olympic Park. THis venue is a stop on the FIS World Cup Tour every year and is defiantly the most difficult course on the Nor-Am Tour.
The team didn’t let that stop them as all athletes competed well and achieved a personal best result in either Singles and/Or Duals.
Single Results
Avital Shimko 1st Place **
Trudy Mickel 9th Place **
Spencer Belsky 52nd
Dual Results
Avital Shimko 3rd Place **
Trudy Mickel 7th Place **
Spencer Belsky 18th Place **
**Denotes personal
A special mention to Trudy Mickel who not only achieved personal best results in both Single and Dual mogul events for the season, but she also continued to improve her runs throughout the week to perform her best runs for the seaso and this was all after a little hiccup on the bottom air in training which meant her training was cut short for the event.
