Weather challenged organizers to hold scheduled FIS speed Keurig Cup races at Kimberley Ski Resort in B.C., Canada, this week. After getting a downhill off on Tuesday (March 4) following a series training runs, skiers were blocked out until a super G race for each gender could be held Friday (March 7) following Thursday evening’s night slaloms. In the women’s super G, BC Alpine ripper Charley Field of Whistler, who had finished fourth in the downhill earlier in the week, charged to a 3.31-second victory over Whistler Mountain Ski Club’s Kelly Steeves.

“Today all I wanted to do was put down a solid technical run and feel good about it when I crossed the finish line,” said Field. “This I felt I have accomplished, and I plan to bring this momentum of great skiing into the NorAm Finals at COP and Nakiska.”

Field’s coach J.P. Daignault was not surprised by her victory, but noted that the margin was quite impressive.

“This morning, following last night’s slalom race, many of the women in the field seemed to have a hard time with their much longer and heavier super G skis,” he said. “Charley had a good course inspection, she made a plan for her run, and she skied her plan flawlessly. After her great NorAm result in super-G in Québec two weeks ago (seventh), I put my money on her to win today,” added Daigneault.

Mia Henry of Banff Alpine Racers rounded out the women’s podium in third. Canadian national team athlete Erik Read tied for the win in the men’s race with development team skier William St-Germain, and Read also shared the podium for the first time ever with his younger brother, Kevyn, who claimed third, just 0.26-seconds off his older brother’s pace.

“I want to give a great big thanks to Kimberley Alpine Resort and the Kimberley Alpine Team for putting on such a great speed week!” exclaimed Field.
