Solid slope results for Howden bros

 

 
 
 

Chilliwack's Jesse and Reece Howden have each posted solid results in recent weeks on the youth downhill skiing circuit.

Jesse, who is in his first year of K1 skiing, posted a pair of fourth-place finishes and a seventh at Sun Peaks earlier this month to qualify for the BC Winter Games at Silverstar in February.

Jesse, 11, kicked off his season with a victory, by 2.5 seconds, at Apex Ski Resort in December.

His older brother Reece posted a fourth-place finish and was the fastest 13-year-old at that race.

He followed that up with a pair of sixth-place finishes and a fourth-place standing at Sun Peaks. He skis next at the provincial championships at Apex, where he will try to qualify for the second year in a row for the Whistler Cup, a world cup race for athletes aged 11 to 14.
