"Fernie being our last dry land camp in the summer, I always look forward to hitting the bike trails facing personal fears…" – Charley Field, member of World Junior Championships Team Canada 2013

Hallie MacLachlan, Fernie resident, focuses on yet another core strength exercise as Charley Field looks on.
The BC Team athletes really "brought it" to this off-snow training program, and as a result, they have all been rewarded with added strength, power, and muscle mass. June, July, and August is when you prepare for the winter!
BC Alpine men's and women's ski team send sincere thanks to all its sponsors and supporters for giving us the opportunity to become the best skiers in Canada!
