Over 100 skiers and 20 coaches from nine BC clubs attended the annual BC Alpine Super Camp at Whistler Blackcomb from July 21-26 on the Horstman and Showcase glaciers on the backside of Blackcomb Mountain.
The campers were challenged by long and hot summer days, sweltering conditions (temperatures up to 35 degrees and UV index at 9 for most of the week), the occasional lift malfunction and even a lighting strike, but the skill development camp was a big success for all the attending clubs.
“It was a good week of training for our group,” said Grouse-Tyee Program Director Sead Causevic, who had over 40 racers aged eight to eighteen at the Super Camp. “The glacier wasn’t perfect with the low snowpack year combined with the high temperatures but we made the best of it and all the kids accomplished a lot during the camp.”
