It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Sandy Holliday on September 6th, after facing cancer with strength and grace.
Sandy was a beloved member of the alpine ski racing community, dedicating countless years to the sport with passion and commitment. Her journey began in the 1980s when her sons Cody and Brady joined the Nancy Greene Ski League at SilverStar Mountain Resort. From those early days, Sandy became a cornerstone of the Vernon Ski Club, taking on increasing responsibilities as her sons progressed in their racing careers.
Her contributions as a Race Administrator were instrumental in the success of many high-profile events, including the World Cup in Whistler (2008), Apex Downhills throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, and the Canada Winter Games in 2015. One of the most notable highlights of her volunteer career was her role as Alpine Race Administrator for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Whistler.
Sandy was known for her unwavering dedication and reliability. Whether the event was large or small, she could always be counted on to step up and lend her expertise and support. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of working with her, and by the entire ski racing community.
BC Alpine sends heartfelt condolences to Bruce and the entire Holliday family during this difficult time.
