There are additional race series in April with the Alberta Cup at Nakiska April 13 to 16 and the BC Coaches Cup April 22 and 23 at Sunpeaks. WMSC FIS will attend these events. The Nakiska race series will include a small training block in Alberta as the time between Panorama and Nakiska is to short to make worth while to return to Whistler and drive back out to Alberta. Attending both race series will involve 19 days away from home. The expense of this trip needs to be justified by the goals, plans and current state of the athletes performance. If you have questions weather or not an athlete should do both Nakiska and Panorama please reach out to Richard. Please inform the coaching staff weather or not you intend to race at Nakiska so we can finalize the cost and the vehicles needed for the trip by Friday March 24th.

The Sunpeaks coaches Cup is a two day event and will only have one full day added to the race series for travel. SunPeaks will be closed to the public for this trip so this will not be a parent friendly trip as parents will be unable to ski at the resort.
