Après with Athletes this evening at Pynelogs
Columbia Valley residents and visitors have a chance to meet and mingle with members of the Canadian Para-Alpine Ski Team on Wednesday, Jan. 8.
Alpine Canada Alpin is co-hosting Après with Athletes from 5 to 7 p.m. at Pynelogs Cultural Centre in Invermere.
More than 100 of the best para-alpine athletes from 20 countries are at Panorama Mountain Village this week, taking part in Canada’s only International Paralympic Committee Alpine World Cup as they battle for top spot on the podium and the chance to qualify for the 2014 Sochi Paralympic Winter Games.
The Après with Athletes event is being held to bring the excitement of the IPC World Cup (and the 2015 World Champs) to town and give the community a chance to meet these remarkable athletes, noted Alpine Canada Alpin.
It is expected that the entire Canadian team will attend and they will sign autographs and mingle with residents.
There will also be a cash bar and low-key music.
