Happy Monday & good evening,
We hope everyone had a great weekend!
We wanted to share an update regarding our upcoming December camps and race schedule.
Our coaching team has spent many hours planning and coordinating the on-snow opportunities for this season, with the goal of providing the best possible experience for our athletes. We are working hard to create an environment where each athlete has the support, training and opportunities they need to continue developing and working towards their individual goals. Thank you for your patience as we lock in the nuanced details to present you with a full and complete picture going forward.
Registrations will open simultaneously to ensure that the different camp and race options are presented clearly, allowing everyone to see the full picture and make informed decisions about the opportunities available. Please be mindful of registration close dates as these will be firm.
Please see below for an overview of the upcoming camps and races in December.
1. Sun Peaks Camp | November 29 – December 6
The Sun Peaks camp offers two options:
Option 1 – Full Camp (November 29 – December 6)
Seven days of training at Sun Peaks, focusing on both SL and GS.
The team will travel to Sun Peaks on November 29.
Athletes will return to Whistler on December 6.
Option 2 – Sun Peaks + Norquay (November 29 – December 4)
Athletes will travel with the team to Sun Peaks on November 29.
Training at Sun Peaks from November 29 – December 4.
On December 4, this group will travel together to Canmore/Norquay for the upcoming race series.
2. Norquay SL Race Series | December 4 – 8
Athletes participating in the SL races at Norquay will travel from Sun Peaks to Canmore on December 4, where the team will be staying during the race series.
Race dates: December 5 – 7.
Athletes attending Norquay are expected to participate in the Sun Peaks camp and travel with the team on November 29.
The team will provide transportation from Sun Peaks to Canmore/Norquay on December 4.
Please note: There will be no team transportation from Whistler to Norquay on December 4. Athletes attending the Norquay races are therefore expected to travel with the team from Sun Peaks.
3. Nakiska Pre-Season Training | December 9 – 16
Following the Norquay races, there will be an opportunity for athletes to stay in the area and continue training ahead of the Panorama races.
Training at Nakiska from December 9 – 16.
This option is also open to athletes who are not participating in the Norquay race series.
For athletes travelling directly from Whistler to join the Nakiska camp, individual transportation to the Calgary/Banff area will need to be arranged. Coaches can assist with airport pick-up if needed.
4. Panorama Race Series & Training | December 16 – 23
Coaches and athletes travelling from Whistler to Panorama will depart on December 16.
December 16: Team departure from Whistler.
December 17 – 18: Training days ahead of the races.
December 19 – 22: Race series at Panorama.
December 23: Tentative team return to Whistler, depending on the race schedule and weather conditions.
