Simmerling debuts!
Whistler, BC – Today was an exciting day for Georgia Simmerling. With all of her family and friends watching, Georgia skied to a fantastic 27th place on a difficult course, giving her excellent experience at the highest level.
Georgia battled through a long week of adversity, including one DNS due to a treacherous downhill, and a minor injury before the Super Combined which stopped her from racing there as well.
Simmerling now heads to Aspen, CO for some more racing, competing in NORAM races later this week.

Whistler, BC – Canadian Olympic Alpine Ski team member Georgia Simmerling missed competition this morning at Whistler mountain due to a shin injury suffered in warm up. This is Simmerling’s second “Did Not Start” in two days after being pulled from the Ladie’s Downhill yesterday morning. There was hesitation for Georgia to compete in the Ladie’s downhill due to the treacherous nature of the course, and the lack of training runs afforded to female skiers in the days preceding the start of competition.
This mornings injury is not serious and Simmerling is hopeful to compete in the Ladie’s Super G, taking place this Saturday, February 20th.
Georgia thanks the continued support of her sponsors.
