Pontiac GMC Canadian J1 Championships

February 28 - March 4, 2009

The Pontiac GMC Canadian J1 Championships, an exciting season-ending highlight to the Pontiac GMC Cup, take place February 28th to March 4th in Whistler, BC.

The J1’s bring Canada’s top 15 and 16-year-old ski racers together to determine national champions for that age group.

The Coupe Pontiac GMC Cup season kicked off in early January as the national ski racing series celebrated its 40th anniversary of providing amateur skiers with essential competitive experience on the road to World Cup and Olympic Winter Games competition.

The series is the brain-child of Olympic Champion Nancy Greene Raine, who approached General Motors with the concept of creating a strong domestic series for up-and-coming Canadian alpine racers to compete with the best across the country. GM of Canada has a rich history as a benefactor to communities and to amateur support. Thus, the original Pontiac Cup series was launched, and out of it came some of Canada’s best alpine racers including Kathy Kreiner, Gerry Sorensen, Laurie Graham, Karen Percy, and the Crazy Canucks.

The Coupe Pontiac GMC Cup is a developmental ski racing program sanctioned by Alpine Canada Alpin and the International Ski Federation (FIS).
