Summer ski training kicks off this week with a six-day camp on the Palmer Glacier at Mt. Hood, Oregon lead by BC Alpine Program Director Arne Lund. From June 29th to July 5th, a total of 38 athletes (K2’s, J1’s and BC Team) from all corners of BC, will soak up the sun while honing their technical skills under the tutelage of an all-star cast of coaches.
The following BC Ski Team athletes and invitees will be coached by provincial team Head Coaches Nancy O’Neill and Glenn Thomsen, assisted by John Trimmer of the Mt. Washington Ski Club. They will be training along side members of the Alberta Ski Team, which should provide a little extra incentive and a healthy dose of competitive spirit!
