Young Slopestyle skiers from across the province laid down their best tricks last weekend (January 23-24) at Hidden Valley Highlands Ski Area in pursuit of the Timber Tour podium. The Freestyle Skiing Ontario (FSO) event for skiers under 18 years was hosted by the Muskoka Ski Club.
Seven local skiers competed in the two days of competition, most of them members of the Muskoka Freestyle Team at the Muskoka Ski Club. In all, they walked away with eight medals to show for their efforts and performances they all could be proud of. (Local results listed below.)
