Just getting started tonight. Just got this set up, so we'll start from the beginning.
This blog will be our journal of Cory's road to his dream - to represent Canada in Alpine Skiing and compete in the Special Olympics World Games in 2013.
So our next post will take us back to the beginning - first time skiing in Grade 7. Then we'll get into his involvement with Special Olympics, how that got his dad involved in skiing for the first time in his life. We'll talk about what we've learned about ski racing. We'll talk about the BC Provincial Winter Games and Cory's participation in that in February 2007, and how that started Cory's dream to a world championship.
We'll talk about his participation in the Hurricane Ski Camp on Mount Hood in July 2007. And we'll talk about the work that Cory has already put into this, and how much more work needs to be done. We'll talk about his dream, his plan, and what it will take to make it come true.
And we'll talk about all the great people that have already helped us along the way.
The story of a 35-year-old man with autism and a passion for ski racing, and his dream-come-true of representing Canada at Special Olympics World Winter Games. In 2020, Cory qualified for Team Canada and was due to compete at the World Winter Games in Russia in January 2023. Those Games were cancelled. Cory then had to restart the 3 year qualification process which culminated at the 2024 National Winter Games where Cory qualified for the next World Winter Games in Italy in 2025.
