The season wrapped up in style at Sun Peaks Resort as the Girls Fast Forward (GFF) and inaugural B.C. Boys Camp (BCBC) brought athletes together for three high-energy days of skiing, learning, and connection from April 13–15.
Athletes were treated to excellent spring conditions, with sunshine, snowfall, and crisp temperatures throughout the camp. Salt was only required on one day, while training lanes on OSV, Chute, and the Rollers provided ideal terrain for a packed on-snow schedule.
Girls Fast Forward: Next Gen Rising
The Girls Fast Forward camp welcomed 46 skiers and featured an all-star coaching staff led by Sam Fournier, Cassidy Gray, Kiki Alexander, Britt Richardson, Amelia Smart, Eleri Smart, Sam Mulligan, and strength and conditioning coach Elias Jonsson.
Across three days, athletes trained giant slalom, slalom, speed fundamentals, and dual slalom, while many younger skiers were introduced to speed events in a safe and fun environment — one of the major highlights of the camp.
Off the hill, participants took part in athlete pathway roundtables, video analysis sessions focused on super-G, GS, and SL, fitness circuits, silly warm-ups, and a retro-themed dual slalom day that brought plenty of energy and laughs.
A standout theme throughout the camp was the connection between coaches and athletes, with CAST racers and guest coaches fully engaged in mentoring the next generation. Campers benefited from constant feedback, strong communication, and the opportunity to build lasting friendships within the GFF community.
BCBC: A Strong Debut
The first-ever B.C. Boys Camp brought together 11 U16 athletes from across the province for three productive days of training and mentorship.
The camp featured an elite coaching group of Broderick Thompson, Sam Mulligan, and Elias Jonsson. Athletes trained giant slalom and speed fundamentals before closing out camp with a Denim Day slalom and dual event.
Beyond the skiing, campers took part in video technical analysis, fitness sessions, and athlete pathway discussions. Thompson shared insights from the highest levels of speed skiing, while Mulligan and Jonsson brought valuable perspectives from elite racing and coaching environments.
The successful launch of the B.C. Boys Camp marked an exciting new addition to spring development programming in British Columbia, closing the season on a strong note at Sun Peaks

“Our goal is to once again bring athletes and coaches from across B.C.—and beyond—together for high-quality training at a low cost. This gives BC racers more time on snow in their home province. Our last MEGA Camp was a great success, and we’re excited to expand the opportunity to make off-season training accessible to as many athletes as possible.” — Johnny Crichton, BC Alpine Vice President
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.
