Great news for all BC clubs and racers. In partnership with Sun Peaks Resort, BC Alpine will be hosting exclusive training (the mountain is closed to the public) in the third week of April. The conditions are expected to be optimal for training and this will give clubs and racers a chance to get a big jump on next season.
“Our goal is to bring athletes and coaches from around the province together for a variety of training opportunities. This will give our racers more time on-snow in their home province … and it’s not everyday we get to take over a mountain which is closed to the public!”
Johnny Crichton, BC Alpine Vice President
BC Alpine will centrally manage the Sun Peaks “Training Centre” in terms of tickets and lane space, and will help create different environments for all the teams and clubs that want to take advantage of this great opportunity.
