Having the opportunity for our athletes to understand what level they are trying to achieve and giving them to ability to measure themselves against the provinces best, is unique, and super fun. The event was successful for most, but we do have to wish AST member and LLSC's Caleb Brooks a speedy recovery as he did injure himself while inspiring our up and comers. Gavin PreziosiExecutive Director, 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 Congratulations to the following athletes; Waverly Balfour, Emilio Hrazdira, Tyler McKay, Matthew Ellis, and Tegan Anderson (alternate), who have qualified to compete at Alberta Winter Games February 16th - 19th 2024! This years games are the make up games for the 2022 season when they were cancelled due to Covid. The Top U14s from all over Alberta will be meeting in Grand Prairie to compete in their respective disciplines. Alberta Alpine hosted a South Zone qualifying event at Norquay on January 6th and 7th that selected athletes out of each zone to compete in the AWG Alpine Skiing competition. All our LLSC athletes represented us well and out of the 10 athletes + 2 alternates per zone selected for the AWGs we are proud that our five LLSC athletes made this criteria! Good luck in Grand Prairie. Ski fast, have fun and we will be cheering you on! Curtis RousseauU14 Head Coach, Lake Louise Ski Club |
