If you are planning to register for evening Winsport training and have not yet added the package in RAMP, please do so as soon as possible.

Dear Lake Louise Ski Club Families, I hope you're enjoying another exhilarating season on the slopes and with snow on the way this weekend as well as lots of events, let's hope we go out with a bang! As we continually strive to enhance your chidrens' experiences and uphold the values of our RISE program—Respect, Inclusion, Support, and Effort—we invite you to share your insights and feedback through our annual member survey. Your input is invaluable in helping us celebrate our successes and address any challenges head-on. To foster transparency and direct communication, the survey will not be anonymous. This ensures that we can follow up personally on any concerns, making sure every family is heard and every issue is addressed. This survey is your opportunity to reflect on the season and let us know what's worked, what hasn't, and how your children have benefited from our programs. Whether it's the professionalism of our coaching staff, the community atmosphere, or how we live up to our motto, "WE LOVE TO SKI, JOIN US!", we're eager to hear from you. Please, take a moment to complete the survey and help us continue to create a nurturing, challenging, and inclusive environment for our skiers. Your feedback directly influences our strategic direction and helps us maintain our standing as one of Canada’s prime environments for skiing excellence and passion. Thank you for being a part of our community. Together, we're not just skiing; we're building lifelong skiers and friends! Stavros KarlosPresident, Lake Louise Ski Clubs With March madness (many moving parts and events) just around the corner, I wanted to bring your attention to our Cheer or Volunteer concept while attending a race or freeride competitions. While at an event, we encourage all our parents to attend and show support to our athletes. The best ways do so, is to register as a volunteer or find a good spot to watch from on the hill and cheer. It should be noted that venues are very different, some require a lift ticket to watch, and some may not require volunteers from visiting clubs which leaves you with the cheering option. Volunteering is a great way to engage with the community, learn best practices of hosting an event, learn about the sport and to be a part of the action. Bonus fact: It typically comes with a free lift ticket and a lunch. If you choose to volunteer, the first step is to ensure you are a registered member of Alberta Alpine for insurance purposes (check out https://www.lakelouiseskiclubs.ca/newsfeed/urgent-alberta-alpine-parent-membership for more details). Without your confirmed registration, you will not be allowed inside the fences. Should you choose to cheer, which is also recommended and required sometimes (no one should volunteer at every race), we ask you to do so from outside the fences and respect the coaches’ roles and responsibilities (https://www.lakelouiseskiclubs.ca/roles.html). Have fun at the races, make friends, show your support to the athletes, and as always act with the RISE principles in mind. Gavin PreziosiExecutive Director, Lake Louise Ski Clubs The Lake Louise Ski Clubs is proud to share the first year FIS athlete Kael Johnston has qualified as one of four athletes to represent Canada in Ski Cross at the 2024 Youth Olympic Games in Gangwon South Korea. “The ski cross athletes were selected based on their performances and ranking during a selection camp and competition in Nakiska, Alberta earlier in December. The Youth Olympic Games (YOG) are the world’s largest multi-sport event for high-performance young athletes aged 15 – 18. Gangwon 2024 will begin on January 19 and will end on February 1, 2024, and will feature 1900 athletes. Gangwon 2024 will be the fourth edition of the Winter YOG and the first in Asia. It will have a fully gender-balanced sporting program, and will feature seven sports, 15 disciplines, and a total of 81 events.” The Ski cross will take place January 23 and 24 (Days 4 and 5) at the Welli Hilli Park Ski Resort! Congratulations Kael! Named as alternates to the Canadian YOG roster are fellow LLSC FIS athletes Thomas Cais and Abby Garnsey! You can read the full press release from Alpine Canada here!

More details to come…. Stephanie JohnstonMember Services, Lake Louise Ski Clubs With 2024 already here, I'd like to remind you all of how far you've come since your first day on snow this season. Many of you are entering the competitive phase of the season and feel it's important for you to recognize that you are ready and remember that this is a big reason why you put in all the work. All of your teammates will have varying goals and expectations this time of year and while this is an individual sport, you wouldn't be where you are without your teammates. Now is the time to embrace the values that RISE teaches us and be there to Support your teammates, be there to pick them up if needed and celebrate all the wins, regardless of their magnitude.

Stephanie JohnstonMember Services, Lake Louise Ski Clubs LLAMSC is happy to announce that we are going back to the Blanket Glacier Ski Hut with CAPOW guiding this April. The trip will take place April 17th-21st, 2024. The total cost of the trip is $2550, and that includes the helicopter ride in and out of the EHframe, 5-star meals cooked by their amazing chefs, and beautiful ski touring and avalanche safety learning opportunities guided by the world-renowned CAPOW guides. The athletes and parents that came along last April had an absolute blast skiing pow, building backcountry booters, popping pillows, and learning about the interior BC snowpack. The guides Lisa, Seb, and Aaron showed us an amazing time and we have all been dreaming of going back since. Please keep in mind that the athletes who attend must have their AST 1 and be older then 14 years old.
