Sierra Wireless Whistler Cup Sponsor Reception at Lorne and Melita Segal's House

Mar 9, 2006

By Catherine Barr

 

The Sierra Wireless Whistler Cup may physically be held in Whistler, but its' connection to Vancouver is vital. The three-day cup (held April 7 - 9 for skiers aged 11 - 14) is organized by the Whistler Mountain Ski Club and many volunteers, participants and sponsors live in the Vancouver area. Last week, a special sponsor cocktail reception was held in support of the event. Hosts Lorne and Melita Segal opened their beautiful new 12,000+ sq. ft. luxury home to guests for an evening filled with praise and anticipation for what organizers hope will be a big preview of what to expect from young skiers come Vancouver's 2010 Winter Olympics.
