Founded in Chamonix on 2 February 1924, it is responsible for the Olympic disciplines of Alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, ski jumping, Nordic combined, freestyle skiing and snowboarding. The FIS is also responsible for setting the international competition rules. The organization now has a membership of 118 national ski associations and is based in Oberhofen am Thunersee, Switzerland)
Lauren Steinburg, a 17-year old grade twelve student, has been skiing with WSRC since she was 10 and this year is her second year of skiing as a FIS athlete.
Lauren heads to her first FIS race events of her season; she will be racing in the Raymond James FIS OCUP in Devils Glenn which is in Collingwood area of Ontario. It is a four day race; two days of SL and 2 days of GS.
Lauren’s goals are to have fun, race hard, and race like she trains. Lauren is excited to represent WSRC at these events. Lauren would like to build on her performances from last year with solid runs and push to improve her skiing.
Good luck Lauren!!
