“I’m so excited for this year because we get to build on the already strong community we have. The concept of this camp and the good energy put into it is something I hope that every girl in Canada will get to experience in this sport.”

In addition to these incredible athletes, 7 additional coaches – club or provincial program directors and head coaches – will anchor the camp and all the activities, ranging from female-lead training, to video tech talks, physical training, tuning room sessions and athlete “fireside” chats.
Coaches:
- Katie Findlay
- Britt Tilston (Janyk)
- Sam Fournier
- Katie Spittlehouse
- Montana Molyneux

What to expect:

- On-snow training sessions that allow athletes to work on their position on the ski through technical free skiing, drills, and courses

- Video tech talks with Olympians
- Athlete “fireside” chat
- Tuning room guidance from the BC Women’s Ski Team
