Port Coquitlam skier Michaela Parilak carved up the slopes during the Coast Zone U10 race, taking silver in a racing event that saw clubs from across the Lower Mainland compete at Hemlock Mountain last week.
The Tri-City athlete, who trains with the Hemlock Ski Team, finished second in the glalom race among the 80 racers that participated from Cypress, Grouse and Mount Seymour Ski Team.
She also competed in the obstacle course, finishing fourth in the event, which featured a couple of 360-degree turns, giving the athletes an opportunity to test their skills.
Parilak was not the only PoCo athlete to compete at the Coast Zone U10 race.
Her sibling, Oliver Parilak, was also on the hill, taking seventh in the under-seven glalom race and sixth in the obstacle course.
Other Hemlock Ski Team athletes also made the podium, including under-six glalom racers Matea Hadzimusic, who won bronze, Syler Farrer, who took gold, Jonas Pecenka, who took silver, and Bodie Sewell who took bronze.
