The Snow Valley Skating Club hosted the Northwest Skating Jamboree in Kitimat on Feb. 24 and 25.

Skaters from Kitimat, Terrace, Hazelton, Smithers, Prince Rupert and Quesnel participated in the competition, which saw the skaters split into four teams fielding skaters from all the clubs.

The skaters are awarded points for each event they completed, the points going towards their team’s overall score.

At the end of the weekend, the Blue team came out on top with many many personal bests accomplished by the entire club.

Coach Cynthia Medeiros said the club was very thankful for all the support they received for the event from many businesses in the community.

She added that she was extremely proud of all the skaters that attended, especially her own Snow Valley Club members.

“The Kitimat Club is one of the largest clubs in the Northwest and our skaters have worked very hard - the results showed that on the weekend,” said Medeiros.
