To all FAST Members, I think this is my first update in three weeks. Must be a sign of how well your fearless, charming, good looking and witty board of directors has everything under control and organized. Don’t get used to it. I think it will be fast and furious for the next four months. FAST FACTS – FAST had a truly outstanding weekend on the hills last weekend. In the Gold Cup at Sun Peaks (best of Western Canada K2s) we had some outstanding results: Hallie MacLachlan – 3rd in Giant Slalom Jamie Honsberger – 3rd in Slalom Patrick Carry – 7th in Slalom At the World Cup in Lake Louise our own Emily Brydon had a career weekend finishing 2nd and 3rd – two podiums – in the two downhill races held last Friday and Saturday.
