Hello Everyone,

I certainly hope that each of you and your families are doing well. I wanted to share with you some encouraging news as the Province begins to slowly reopen and we return to sport. Our Provincial Sports Organization (PSO) BC Alpine has just released their guidelines for member clubs to reopen, and we are currently amending our documentation and registration to reflect the new guidelines.

In this e-news you will read about our plans for several Saturday fitness sessions, as well as plans to reopen the gym and additional summer activities. It is our full intention to offer similar to last summer, a couple of fitness camps through the summer months and then initiate “Sport Saturdays” in the fall. These programs will be executed based on the existing limitations regarding both physical and social distancing protocols.

There is no question this has been a trying time for all of us however, I am excited for our return to sport, albeit in somewhat of a limited fashion. Your Lead Coaches and Blanca have worked tremendously hard to ensure that all the appropriate guidelines and policies will be implemented as we begin to reopen.

If you have not had a chance to see the 2020-21 Canadian Alpine, Para-Alpine and Ski Cross Teams nominations, check this link out Alpine Canada Alpin WMSC is so proud of our many alumni athletes who will compete on the world stage this coming season! There is something very inspirational when we see these athletes in action and we can say, they began their careers at WMSC.

The annual membership survey should be arriving in your inbox this week. We hope you will find the time to complete the survey as it becomes a critical component in all that we do at the club.

Our ski club is a community rich in tradition and building lifelong friendships; we are ecstatic to initiate our reopening plans and begin to welcome everyone back.

Regards,
Bob
