Jenna Sim is a volunteer coach for the event and explains how surreal it is to have been a competitor at one point and now come back to coach the skiers.

“Actually 10 years ago, I was here at this exact race, so it is kind of crazy to be back here again.”

While the competition and the chance to win medals is part of the event, the teamwork between the skiers is most important.
