Girls Fast Forward returns this spring, continuing BC Alpine’s commitment to supporting the next generation of female ski racers and coaches. Since launching the initiative in 2018, the program has played an important role in growing the women’s pathway in the province. In 2018, BC had just 33 registered female FIS athletes; today that number has more than doubled, with over 65 registered female FIS racers in the 2025–26 season.
Girls Fast Forward aims to illuminate the pathway for female-identifying ski racers in BC, highlighting key transitions from U14 to U16 and U16 to FIS, while also introducing opportunities within coaching. This year’s camp features an exceptional group of VIP athlete-coaches, including Olympians Cassidy Gray, Kiki Alexander and Britt Richardson, who will share both on-snow technical insights and lessons from their journeys in the sport.
They will be joined by an outstanding coaching staff dedicated to helping athletes build strong technical foundations and focus their development for the 2026–27 season. FIS-level coaches Sam Fournier (Sun Peaks & Okanagan Ski Team), Liv Bradley (Whistler Mountain Ski Club) and Montana Molyneux (Fernie Alpine Ski Team, former BC Women’s Head Coach) will lead the on-snow program. Supporting them are valued male allies Sam Mulligan (former Canadian Men’s National Team) and Elias Jonsson (Canadian Women’s National Team coach and strength and conditioning specialist).
“Together we want to bring as many female ski racers and coaches together from all over the province,” said Molyneux. “We want to ski a lot, learn from each other, and build a strong community of confident, supportive and passionate female racers and coaches.”
Beyond performance, Girls Fast Forward reflects a broader goal: growing participation and leadership opportunities for women in sport.
Research from Canadian Women & Sport highlights the impact:
- 1 in 3 girls quit sports by age 16, compared to 1 in 10 boys
- Girls who play sports develop stronger leadership, confidence and teamwork skills
- 94% of women in executive leadership roles in Canada played sports growing up
Girls in sport are also more likely to build strong friendships, develop resilience and learn goal-setting skills. At BC Alpine, we believe increasing female participation in sport benefits everyone — especially when it means more girls discovering the passion of ski racing in British Columbia.
