Cory has just returned from 5 days of hard work and glacier race training with Whistler Mountain Ski Club, and is now catching up on some sleep, in between his work shifts of course.
It was a remarkable five days, not just because he made some real progress and in the words of one of his coaches, he was "really rippin it up out there", but he had the wonderful opportunity to race head to head in a dual Giant Slalom race course against one of Canada's best - Britt Janyk who just retired from the Canadian Alpine Ski Team.
We'll post more pics and video from those five days, but for now, here is Cory versus Britt:
The story of a 36-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 March 2025, Cory competed for Canada at the World Winter Games in Turin & Sestriere, Italy. And he won all 3 of his races, taking Gold in Slalom, Giant Slalom, and Super Giant Slalom! A 3 Time Olympic Gold Medalist!
