Close to 100 coaches, club executives and general members converged in Sun Peaks for a series of informative and thought-provoking meetings, workshops and conversations last weekend. A number of guest speakers stimulated conversations and updated coaches and members, who now aim to kickstart the 2024-25 ski season in a positive way.
And once again the annual awards banquet – “The Goldies” – put a bow on last season by awarding athletes, coaches, volunteers and officials in a heart-felt and memorable evening of cheers, laughs and even a few tears. The legendary skier (Canadian GOAT ski racer) Nancy Greene was on hand to present the awards at the always impressive Sun Peaks Grand Hotel and Conference Centre
“It was an incredible celebration of a great season,” said BC Alpine VP, Johnny Crichton. The dinner and presentations capped a productive three-day Member Summit, which included coach meetings, general member meetings and the official BC Alpine AGM. All said, 26 BC Alpine clubs attended the sessions.
