With a few days break from training, and a bit of clear sky, we headed to one of Cory's favourite places...Point Roberts, Washington, just across the border from us, for a few photos of Cory's Team BC uniform.
The ski jacket, with two orcas in the Team BC logo - we've seen many orcas in the ocean right behind Cory here. And Cory's home mountain - Cypress - a tiny white speck below the clouds in the upper right corner.
Then an insulated vest as a mid-layer....
and then his racing vest.
The backpack....
And a long-sleeved Tshirt for the walk-in during the opening ceremonies at the Corner Brook Civic Centre on March 1, just under two weeks from now.
The 16-year story of a 35-year-old man with autism who has a passion for ski racing, and his dream-come-true of representing Canada at Special Olympics World Winter Games. In February 2020, Cory qualified for Team Canada and was due to compete at Special Olympics' World Winter Games in Russia in January 2023. Those Games have been cancelled. The next World Winter Games are to be held in Italy in 2025. Come along and Race With Cory!
