🚨 Brunner Day 3 | Slalom Day 🚨
Fast sets. Tight lines. No easy turns.
Today’s slalom course was hard, fast, and demanding from the first gate to the finish. Conditions asked a lot, and our athletes answered every run with effort, focus, and determination.
Big shoutout to Maggie, Reid, Murray, Zoe, Macy, and Violet for putting it all on the hill and skiing with confidence and grit in a challenging race environment.
A huge thank you to Coach Aaron and Coach Shane for the dedication, patience, and countless hours guiding this team every step of the way throughout the Brunner weekend. Strong athletes are built through steady leadership and support.
Three days. Changing conditions. Full effort, every run. We are so proud of you all!
That’s Brunner.
That’s this team.
And that’s a little Cape Breton spine showing up wherever we race.
🔥⛷️🔥⛷️ 🔥⛷️🔥⛷️
