The club is proud of its achievements in the field of competitive skiing, for example:
The club has hosted four Canadian National Championships: The Canadian Seniors in 1975, 1989 and 1996 and the Canadian Juniors in 1977.
We have had two local community members go the Olympics!
Kari Engstad - Winter Olympics 1936
Esther Miller - Winter Olympics 1976 and 1980
We have had several community members on Canadian National teams, including Chris Werrell who is currently training at the National Athlete Development Centre in Whistler. He has also represented Canada and BC in the World Junior Ski Championships in Norway and Finland. Chris competed in his first World Championships, in Canmore, Alberta in 2008!
Race team coach—Chris Paulson, is also a former national team member.
We have had a number of local athletes participate on BC Ski teams.
A number of community members serve as officials and organizers at the provincial level.
