The slopes were mostly empty but the podium was still packed with North Shore athletes at the B.C. Winter Games held last month in Lhtako Quesnel.
A lack of snow forced the cancellation of several ski competitions, but the show went on in many other events, with athletes from North Vancouver and West Vancouver scoring well.
