Jacey Gamroth was one of five local skiers who experienced the thrill of the Alberta Winter Games last weekend in Bonnyville, along with her parents, Allen and Laura, and her sisters.
Ski events were held in Cold Lake and Jacey did very well placing in the top 20. Highlight of Jacey’s trip was the dance, where she got to meet lots of fellow competitors.
On the same weekend, Tiana Gamroth and Kiara Gamroth attended a ski meet in Red Deer where Tiana won a gold medal. This weekend the Valley Ski club hosted their race meet.
Competing were the Schauers, the Gamroths, the Schillings and Nicolas Ruddell who all skied very well.
Keep up the good work kids and maybe you will be representing Canada at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

They saw the Canadian women’s hockey team defeat Sweden, watched Cheryl Bernard curl against Switzerland, toured the pavilions from other countries, were present for a medal ceremony at BC Place, enjoyed the Bare Naked Ladies concert plus ate seafood on the waterfront.
