Snowboard-cross event pulled from Ontario Winter Games following fire at Calabogie Peaks

The Provincial Sport Organization for Snowboard has pulled the snowboard-cross event from the games due to a lack of snow at the ski hill in Calabogie, Ont.

A fire at the beginning of January destroyed the pump house at Calabogie Peaks, halting snowmaking operations.

"Which wouldn't leave enough time to make enough snow and then build a course and groom it for the snowboard competition."The decision now leaves roughly 100 to 120 athletes at home and unable to compete. Snowboard cross is a downhill race that takes place on a terrain course. The event was set to be held Feb. 6-8.
