Opening a Month of Listening – September 15th to October 15th

Dear Membership,

Over the last few years, I’ve used this period to hear from the membership and have dubbed it the Month of Listening. Though we hope every month is open for listening, it has been valuable to take this one focus in a specific four weeks to gain insights before the season. With this, I invite you to share your feedback with us. This can be stories, perspectives, questions or just getting something off your chest as it relates to the club’s activities of the past, present, or future.

To send an official submission and to make sure I catch it, you can do it in one of two ways. Either send an email directly to mjanyk@wmsc.info with “MOL” in the subject line or as an anonymous option, click here for access the link to our online form. Either way is good with us, which ever one you feel most comfortable with. Over the month, I’ll go through them as they come in and respond as best I can. Sometimes if a handful come in at once, it can take me a bit to respond so with your patience, I’ll be sure to get to them all in due time.


Thank you in advance for participating and look forward to hearing from you

Sincerely, Mike Janyk

Coaches update

On the head coaches front, I’m happy to announce we’ve have hired Ronan Mac Con as U14 Lead Coach, some of you may know Ronan from last season as he coached with the U12 program. He grew up ski racing on the hills of Southern Ontario where his love for the sport started, then coached through university and eventually heeded the call and moved west to the mountains. He has been working as a ski professional for almost 30 years, reaching his ACA Development level certified and CSIA level 4 certification.

“It’s a huge privilege to work with Whistler families and the athletes at a club with such a storied history. Skiing is truly the greatest sport on earth, and I hope to instill this love of the sport in the kids. Thank you in advance for giving me this opportunity.”

Ronan officially starts October 1st, so until then, keep directing your questions my way and we’ll soon share his WMSC email address to bring him into the fold. Please join me in welcoming him to the team and looking forward to a winter together.
