Hello Ski Fans,
We have just returned from the Rainiest training camp week ever to take place in Whistler. Hopefully we can dry out before training on Tuesday. Telemark skiers showed that their training has paid off by posting great race results when compared to the other BC ski team skiers. Half the podium spots were Telemark. We have a great week planned for you!
If you missed the information meetings that we have had for our various groups over the last few weeks the information can be found here on our website.
