Canadian champion wins in New Zealand

September 9, 2009 By Stano Faban 4 Comments

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!

    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!

    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.

    The kid doesn’t say so much, does he? But all you ever usually see is his back, going away. Congratulations, Reiner.
