This is very exciting! Two major Ski Cross events are coming to BC in March.
The first will be at Big White, March 3 – 6, 2011 and the second at Red Mountain, March 10 -13, 2011.
For the Nor-Am level competitions, athletes must be FIS registered, but for the OPEN events being held March 6th at Big White and March 13th at Red Mountain, ANY BC Alpine member may participate.
There is even an opportunity for non-BC Alpine members to race!
Ski Cross is new to BC Alpine and gaining popularity everyday. If you’re interested or have been wanting to try it out, check out the links below for lots more information.
