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 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.
