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.

Both Sarah and Vanessa exemplify the values of the WMSC in all the pillars of the Teamship Values- Behaviour , Effort, Communication and Reputation.
