Nov. 17 Weekly update

Hello athletes and parents,

As most have you have heard the u14 preseason camps have been cancelled. This is a brutal blow to everyone that was excited to get on snow and get some work done – especially as this is the second year in a row that we have been denied for reasons outside of our control.

In lieu of these camps we will be offering a 4 day camp next week when the mountain opens up. Many of the ideas I had for the camps will be transferred to this local camp. So start the wheels turning whether you, your family or your athlete staying with someone else can be here in Whistler to kick off the season starting Thursday the 25th. I have tech talks, dryland, ski tuning and of course technical free skiing planned. I will send out a registration in the next few days and we will make the most of the situation.

Whether you can make the “Plan B” camp or not – lets get excited about the season that is near. We will all be sliding soon!

Regards,

Ronan Mac Con
U14 Lead
