June Ski Camp | Cancelled

We have received news form Whistler Blackcomb that they have made the decision to close all ski operations for both Whistler and Blackcomb mountains on May 20th. Unfortunately, this means we won’t be able to proceed with our planned June ski camps as intended. However, stay tuned for the exciting summer programs we have in store for you off the hill.

WMSC Photography Site

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our brand new site, dedicated to sharing and celebrating the incredible moments captured during the 2022/23 and 2023/24 racing seasons. Thanks to the tireless efforts of our official parent photographer, we have been able to compile a stunning collection of photos showcasing the dedication and skills of our ski racers.
