After a great season, both athletes were invited to the ACA prospect group ,which replaces the current Alpine Canada development sytem.
We have a number of goals for the new development system in Canadian ski racing," said ACA Chief Athletics Officer Max Gartner. "We want to maximize the potential of these athletes coming up through the ranks and increase the pool of talent available at the national team level. We are going to do that by working as partners with the provincial teams, keeping...
After a wonderful Christmas and winter, an incredible Spring Break and a very warm and sunny Easter weekend, the Club is now closed for the 2009/10 season!
The year took a turn in August when the Tornado wiped out the Whalen Alpine Centre and much of our equipment but through a lot of hard work we were ready to go for the start of the season. When the weather finally turned cold our Snowmaking Team went to work and by the Christmas Break, we had all lifts running and the snow stayed great right...
Well it has been a truly incredible weekend so far and we hope that you all have enjoyed yourselves.
As we have communicated previously, our conditions and therefore our operating plans have been changing constantly. There is a wind warning in effect for this evening and the forecast calls for dropping temperatures and rain. Once again that may change our plans as the dawn breaks and we see what snow we have left.
Our plan is to open tomorrow with skiing on Champlain and Rogers, but as mentioned...

It is that time again.
As we prepare for one of the biggest parties of the season, we wanted to let you know that there are a couple of changes to the event this year. These changes are a result of the increasing attendance by people who are neither Members nor Guests of Members and our need to control the Club's resulting liability, respond to our insurance provider's requests and protect our liquor licence (something we all value).
When you and your Guests arrive at the Club on Saturday we...

Please remember to not block the emergency access areas. The areas are clearly marked with signs and/or orange cones.
Our day runs 24 hours. We have staff and members here at all hours of the day and night. We do have emergencies and require ambulances from time to time. This can occur even before the lifts and trails are open for our snowsport participants. In the event of a fire, we will need the fire department to respond. These vehicles are much larger than an ambulance or our personal...

Machine traction can prove to be problematic as well.
Corn snow can be heavy to ski in. When we ski corn snow there are a few things to keep in mind.
Take extreme caution when...
