Canadian champion wins in New Zealand
Current Canadian ski mountaineering champion, Reiner Thoni, won the Scarpa CraigieBurner skimo race in New Zealand over the past weekend.
Reiner travelled to NZ in mid-August to do some touring and racing there, and prepare for the upcoming winter.
According to a report submitted to skimo.org, Reiner won the race in a convincing fashion, by four minutes, ahead of Alexis Poilvert and Gena Sibaev.
Congrats!

First International Canadian win! BOO-YA!
The kid doesn’t say so much, does he? But all you ever usually see is his back, going away. Congratulations, Reiner.
James, actually I believe the credit for the first international Canadian win goes to Andy Traslin, as he won a couple of times down in the States in recent years.
Thanks for that correction Stan. I owe Traslin a beer. Ya, Reiner’s fast. And I bet he’s going to be even faster this year. OOOO! I can feel the competitive juices flowing!
