The NorAm speed races are back at Lake Louise! We’re excited to host the downhill races from December 8-11, 2014. Volunteer here.
Chief of Race Todd McNutt and Chief of Course Bob Leitch lead an experienced, dedicated and fun-loving group of volunteers who take pride in holding a race that offers Canadian athletes a chance to race at home on the well-prepared and exciting World Cup track – immediately following the season-opening Men’s and Women’s World Cup downhill races at Lake Louise.
We’re looking for people to come out to Lake Louise – ideally from Sunday noon till end of race Thursday, however if you can make it for just a day or two, we should be able to find spots. We provide:
-
shared accommodation at the Lake Louise Inn for those who are working multiple days, mostly in rooms with kitchens
-
breakfast and lunch
-
lift ticket for access to the races
-
post-race socializing
-
volunteer appreciation pizza dinner on Tuesday evening.
Since this is a downhill, there is a safety meeting on Sunday night and all volunteers should attend.
Sign up using this link: http://www.alpinecanada.org/sign-up or reply by return email with your preferred job and dates.
If you have questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.
Panorama will host the next set of NorAms from December 13-20,2014, then the series will return to Nakiska and Canada Olympic Park from February 17-22,2015.
Best regards,
Carol Trow

AGM AND MEMBER SUMMIT AGENDA AND SIGN UP
Anyone hoping to come to this year's banquet at the Bohemian Cafe MUST go through the OFFICIAL SIGN UP PROCESS to RSVP. The good news is the amazing dinner will be paid for by BC Alpine as a thank you for coming to our AGM. All you have to think about is the cash bar. The restaurant has added a new patio and they can accommodate 120 of us, but we need to know in advance how many of you are coming. Thanks, see you there!
