Panorama Mountain Village hosted the final race of the 2011 Canada Cup downhill series, also a BC Cup mountain bike race, under beautiful blue skies and in front of cheering supporters.
One hundred and ninety two entries ranged from first time "Citizen" category racers to last weekend's Canadian Downhill Mountain Bike Champion Andrew Mitchell, who competed in the "Elite" category.
Rob Fraser won the Canada Cup men's category. Fraser had the fastest time of the day at 03:24.60 on a course he described as rough and physical.
"It was a good length and wicked track," said Fraser. "I feel like I made it up in the middle rock garden."
The Canada Cup women's category went to Lauren Rosser with a time of 03:51.67. She also won the Canadian Downhill Mountain Bike Championship at Panorama last weekend.
"The World Cup will be my last race this season," she said. "These two wins will give me the points I need to get there and give me the confidence to know I can do really well at Worlds."
