Cory has been selected to Team BC to compete at Special Olympics' National Winter Games in Jasper, Alberta next March.
That is what he has been working towards since 2007 - get to the National Games for a chance to qualify for the World Games to be held in Pyeongchang, Korea 2013.
Cory knows that he has had a lot of help all along the way. Thanks to everyone with the VASS Blue Streaks - especially Coach Roy Sperling.
Also thanks to Whistler Adaptive Sports Programs: Chelsey Walker, Sammy Kent, Luke Hadley, and Chris Kent.
Thanks too to Bob Vial of Hurricane Ski Camps as well as Rob Boyd at Whistler Mountain Ski Club.
With help from all of you, Cory has passed into the next stage and can now set his sights on his next goal - Korea 2013!
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.
