In Banff, be sure to catch the 7th Annual Rob Bosinger Memorial Race, running from April 6 to 8, 2012 (over Easter Weekend). The event is organized in honour of Rob Bosinger a.k.a. Bozo, who died suddenly in his sleep May 20th, 2005 of a cardiac arrhythmia without a known cause. In honour of Rob, and his love for skiing, this annual head-to-head dual slalom Pro-Am race appropriately called the “Bozocup” was created. For more details, visit www.bozocup.com.
