Fun for all tastes

With the world's attention on the 2010 Winter Olympic games in Vancouver and Whistler, here in Sun Peaks we are also busy with plenty of events, competitions and family fun.

This weekend I watched the The Garden presented by Oronge Board Shop. This was a day of jam sessions with contestants of all ages competing in the Sun Peaks intermediate terrain park.

With loud music and hot dogs on the bbq, this was a great chance to see skilled skiers and boarders showing their talent and competing for great prizes.

I was impressed with how good and dedicated the contestants were on those rails, and it was really fun to be able to hang out there and have a good time while they were pushing hard and battling in 30 minute jam sessions for the prizes.

Congratulations to all the entrants for their skills and abilities, I'm looking forward to watching the Shredidential Election ’10, also presented by Oronge Board Shop, on March 14.

Another exciting event taking place in Sun Peaks over the next two weeks is the Sun Peaks 2010 Games, including activities like skeleton races down the Tube Park, the 3 Peaks Biathlon, Children's Fun Race, Hockey Skill Challenges and more.

I had an awesome time participating in the biathlon, where I was challenged to ski with only one ski, crabwalk and toy shooting.

It was all very fun and family-oriented, overall the Sun Peaks Games are a good opportunity for people of all ages to try something new with the energy of the Olympics. The best part is all the events are complimentary, so check out the calendar and have a great time on the mountains!
