Searchmont girl takes Whistler by storm in SBX

Myrica Hinich placed 1st in her category at the ATOMIC Super Boarder Cross race in Whistler B.C. Hinich came in first during qualifications on Saturday and succeeded on Sunday during the final race.

Whistler is her residence at this time, where the 19 year-old chose to instruct snowboarding this season, while competing when she has the opportunity. She was one of only two females, the other from Japan, chosen to instruct an Australian group in the prestigious “Yes” program for the past week. During the 2006 / 2007 winter season Hinich was the front runner on the Ontario Boarder Cross Team, competing all over Canada.

SAFA, the local “Searchmont and Area Freestyle Alliance” has evolved from last winters efforts and is now offering competitions for local youth in snowboarding and skiing freestyle competitions.
