The estimated cost for this trip will be $1800- $2100 dependent on how many coaches are needed for the trip and the number of vehicles we must rent. Please email Richard your intent this week regarding this race so we can create budget that is as close to accurate as possible.
Pleas note the additions to the FIS Calendar for races in Western Canada. We will target these additions however athletes should discuss with their parents and coaches about what best suits them regarding academics and goals. The additions and changes are as followed.
Alberta Cup GMC at Lake Louise 2 SL 2 GS February 4th to,7th This race would follow the Kimberly Speed Series. This would be recommended for those who not attending the Kimberly Speed series in the last week of January. For those athletes who are attending the Kimberly Speed series this would be a long haul away from school and you must plan for that if you intend to race both locations.
BC Alpine Coaches Cup at Sun Peaks April 22 and 23 2 SL and 2 GS. This race would be recommended for those athletes who are trying to improve their point profile for the 2023-24 season or for those who need results to qualify for the BC Ski Team.
