World Cup Experience Fuels Launch of New BC-BC Program
BC Alpine is excited to introduce BC Boys Camp (BC-BC), a new development initiative – supported by the Vancouver Ski Foundation – is focused on supporting and inspiring the next generation of boys ski racers in British Columbia.
Led by BC Ski Team alumni and former World Cup athletes Sam Mulligan and Broderick Thompson, the program kicks off with its inaugural camp at Sun Peaks next month (April 16–18). Sam and Broderick will be joined by Elias Jonsson, national team coach at the camp.
With a fresh name, new look, and plenty of energy behind it, BC-BC builds on the success of the Girls Fast Forward initiative. The goal is simple: bring together U16 male athletes from across the province to ski fast, learn more, and have fun doing it—all while building a clear pathway toward FIS and beyond.
“In our province, we’re incredibly fortunate to have world-class training environments, long winters, and great role models to learn from,” said Thompson. “For me, collaborating with teammates and learning from mentors like Mike Janyk, Robbie Dixon, Manny Osborne, Ben Thomsen, and the Pridy brothers helped shape my path. Programs like this create space for athletes to discover their own way—because there’s no single formula for success.”

Mulligan sees BC-BC as a natural next step in athlete development.
“Building off the momentum of Girls Fast Forward, BC-BC is about getting athletes together to push themselves, learn from each other, and enjoy the process,” he said. “It’s also a great chance to get some quality spring skiing in and head into summer feeling motivated and focused.”
