MEGA CAMP: Get a jump on next season (a few spots still available)

by | Apr 4, 2023 | Member News

The MEGA camp is back. Considered some of the “best training imaginable”, BC Alpine in partnership with Sun Peaks Resort, are hosting this exclusive training opportunity – the mountain will be closed to the public – from April 12th to the 23rd, 2023. Conditions are expected to be optimal for training and this opportunity will give clubs and racers a big jump on next season.

“Our goal is to again bring athletes and coaches from around our province, as well as other provinces, together for a variety of training opportunities for a low cost. This will give BC racers more time on-snow in their home province. Last year was a great success and we aim to grow the opportunity to make great off- season training available to as many athletes as we can.

Johnny Crichton, BC Alpine Vice President

BC Alpine will centrally manage the Sun Peaks “Training Centre” in terms of tickets and lane space. We will help to create different environments for all the teams and clubs that want to take advantage of this great training.
