Dear Members,

Here we are in the last weeks of August and the home stretch of summer. I am sure most of you are preparing the kids for back to school, which will look and feel quite different than in years past.

As we are all now trying to plan our fall in uncertain times, I want to share some information with you regarding the club’s fall programs and the upcoming season.

We are currently in the midst of the final summer camps for all programs and looking forward to seeing everyone at Sports Saturdays starting again on Sept 5th.

Fall Camps
The Lead coaches have been working through the final logistics regarding Whistler- based fall fitness weekends (Sept – Nov) and late fall ski camps being planned for Sun Peaks and Panorama. Final ski camp dates will be sent out by your Lead coaches early Sept. These fall camps have always proved to be a tremendous start to the season and a great way for the athletes to find their ski legs again on “hard” snow. Keep in mind that travel/accommodations for these trips will likely be different this year based on Covid guidelines. Once we get a better understanding of how this will pan out, we will notify everyone. As you can imagine this year so much of what we are planning is a moving target.

Upcoming Season
I have been in frequent contact with the mountain regarding the upcoming season. They are currently working through details on various options centered on demand and capacity. Rest assured they are doing everything they can to plan for a successful ski season in light of the ongoing Covid situation.

I just received a note from BC Alpine explaining why they have yet to define the race schedule; they are awaiting final race decisions from organizing committees of FIS and Nor Am to then plan the BC race schedule. In addition, BC Alpine is in conversation with CWSAA (Canada West Ski Areas Ass.) as to how ski resort operators will specifically return to hosting
competitions. All this to say there are a lot of moving parts at the moment!

Important Dates
Ski Swap the weekend of Oct 10th.. We are also planning an orientation session for new U12 families that weekend.

Kick-off Meeting & AGM Nov 7th .
These certainly are challenging times for all of us and your club. We are working hard in these highly fluid circumstances to determine how to best deliver this year’s WMSC’s ski racing programs in the safest manner possible. Stay well and we will see you all soon!

Regards,

Bob

Dear Members,​

I wanted to share with you what we have been up to at WMSC lately. There is no doubt that the 2019/20 season will be one we all will remember as a once in a lifetime experience! That being said, we hope everyone is still remaining vigilant regarding your family’s health and wellbeing.

​As we approach the middle of the summer and the weather seems to be cooperating, the club is eagerly preparing for the upcoming season. We have finalized our 2019/20-year end financials, nearing completion of the annual audit with KPMG, and presented to the Board of Directors a revised budget and operation plan for the coming season, (anticipating the various COVID-19 scenarios).

Rest assured we are in weekly contact with WB regarding their plans for the season ahead and we will pass on any new information regarding the coming season the moment we get an update. In addition, we have been actively recruiting to fill a few coach vacancies. Also, happy to report that we are pleased with the number of new families joining WMSC for the 2020/21 season!

Your Lead Coaches have executed several mini camps and Sport Saturdays, all well attended thus far. We will host more camps later in August; watch for your Lead coach updates for details.

Starting in September we will continue with the Sport Saturdays and build momentum towards the start of the race season. We anticipate the annual ski swap on Saturday, October 10th, so have a look around your home for equipment (hard and soft goods) that are no longer in use, as it will yield you a bit of cash and help other members assemble their kit for the coming season.

Our annual AGM is scheduled for Saturday, Nov 7th which is always an informative meeting and an opportunity for everyone to reconnect prior to the start of the season. We will plan to hold our annual fall social fundraiser as well on the eve of Nov 7th. In addition, the Lead coaches will be holding parent meetings sharing critical information for the program. Typically, we hold athlete fitness assessments as well during this weekend. Stay tuned for additional details. The above is of course all based on the Club being able to assemble gatherings of more than 50 people.

Regards,

Bob
