Before BC Alpine, ski racing was organized through the schools - here is the SOSS Ski Team from 1967

Back row: Dave Pugh, Rod MacLeod, Pat Smith, Graeme Fenwick-Wilson, David Norcross, Mr. Harry.  Front row Duane Eek, Libby Pugh, Allison Pugh, Mary Brownjohn, Jane Murray.

This photo came out of hiding recently when a guest of Forney's was an older sibling of the Pugh racers in this photo.

Pat Smith, son of Baldy builder Terry Smith, third from right, back row. Pat was killed in a car accident in 1975. He was a special guy, and I remember riding the Baldy Tee with him one deep snow year - near Tower 7, he reached up with his right hand and grabbed the haul rope - it was that deep.

We lost David Norcross a few years ago to a stroke. He was like a big brother to me. 

Dave Pugh senior was the lawyer in Oliver, and later an MP. It was a large family, and I went to school with one of the younger siblings.

Barbara Fenwick-Wilson drove the team to other mountains in the F-W Volkswagen van.

Duane has an awesome niece who lives next door to me.
