With 54 cm of fresh snow, it was hard to stay focused on the race, but in the end 18 racers from Jasper managed to secure a top 10 finish.

The two-day event included two dual-slalom courses on Dromedary. The racecourse on Upper Dromedary was for 9- to 11-year-olds and the course on Lower Dromedary was for four to eight year olds.

In total 29 racers from Jasper participated in the event.
