New Timing Volunteers

The Club is actively seeking 3-4 parents of U12 athletes to join us in developing the next generation of timing team members. No prior timing experience is necessary – we are looking for individuals who are keen to learn. You will have the invaluable opportunity to be mentored by the highly experienced Henry Voss, working out of our state-of-the-art timing hut located at the base of the race area.

As a member of this team, you will play a crucial role in the nerve center of every race hosted by WMSC. We welcome anyone with a curious technical mind to become part of this exciting venture. Your involvement will not only contribute to the success of our races but also provide a unique and rewarding experience. Join us in shaping the future of our timing team!

You can reach out to WMSC Volunteering to express your interest.

The Whistler Blackcomb Foundation Telus Winter Classic is fast approaching, but there is still time to buy tickets.

The Whistler Blackcomb Foundation stands as a steadfast pillar of support for the WMSC and an array of non-profit organizations within the Sea to Sky Corridor. Their unwavering commitment has significantly impacted our community, elevating us to new heights.

The TELUS Winter Classic is not just a fundraiser, it is a celebration of unity and generosity and we would like to encourage you to buy tickets to any of their events and auctions and support the Whistler Blackcomb Foundation and the great causes that they support in return.
