A lack of snow has made it difficult for Lower Mainland skiers to train this winter, but that did not stop Port Moody's Katrina Voss from taking the podium at the B.C. Alpine Okanagan Zone finals at Big White this week.
The young athlete has not been able to train at all at her home ski hill, Hemlock Mountain, which has been closed all season due to a lack of powder.
But in Kelowna she took third place in both slalom races, helping the Hemlock Ski Team to a strong overall showing.
Voss was not the only Tri-City skier to compete at the Okanagan finals.
Lena Liljedahl, also from Port Moody, finished in 20th place in the slalom, moving up to 17th on Sunday in the same event.
This weekend, Voss will be back on the hill when she competes in the Whistler Cup. The event is highly regarded in the youth skiing circuit, with previous competitors like Lindsey Vonn, Julia Mancuso Jan Hudec and Erik Guay taking part in past competitions.
