Try out WMSC Day | Friday, April 5

Meet at WMSC Club Cabin in Creekside at 9:00 am| It’s free!

For all strong skiers, born in 2013 and 2014 (10 and 11 years and old) from RDP and any program who are interested in taking their technical skiing to a new level and try out ski racing. The Ski up day is an opportunity to try and learn about the Whistler Mountain Ski club, training on the Dave Murray National Training Centre with our professional ski racing coaches.

This day gives potential Whistler Mountain Ski Club athletes a chance to try the club out for a day and get a feel for if they would like to join the program next year. It also gives the parents and opportunity to meet some of the staff and learn about the program.

Happy Spring Everyone,

We are enjoying a bit of calm before the storm at the moment, as many of our teams are away at events. U12 team is in Sun Peaks this week for the Nancy Green Festival, U16 Team is in Banff wrapping up Westerns, and the FIS team in at Red for Nationals. The U14 Team is preparing to head to Red next week for Provincial.

The storm I am referring to is Whistler Cup (April 10-14), and this is our biggest event of the season. It looks like we have really good numbers signed up as volunteers to help with the event, which is very exciting. We are putting a call out for 2 more B-net setup days, the weekend prior to Whistler Cup, we need to complete all of our safety systems from the top of Raven for the Event. Please follow the link to sign up for April 6/7.

As the season winds down, we can start to look forward to next season. Several things are coming up, and more information will be coming out over the next couple of weeks, so please read the club e-news blasts.

1. May Camps will be happening during the first 3 weekends in May.
2. June Camp registrations should also be open.
3. We will be offering a competitive MTB program for all age groups starting May 1.
4. We will be offering weekly Summer Sports camps during July and August.
5. U16 and FIS teams will be offering a Chile camp in Mid August.

See you all at Whistler Cup!

Sandy.
