KELOWNA – It’s a great start to the 2015 ski cross NorAm season for an Okanagan athlete.
Ned Ireland of Lake Country has two podium finishes in as many races at Ski Cooper in Colorado.
The 20 year old placed first and second in back-to-back events.
In December, Ireland was named to the Canadian Ski Cross Development Team.
The former Big White race team member spent January training and racing in Europe.
Ireland is now in first place on the NorAm tour which should help him qualify for the World Junior Championships in Italy in March.
