Holiday Greetings!

Hi everyone!

What an incredible start to the ski season! It feels like Mother Nature has outdone herself this December—more fresh snow than we could have hoped for. Endless powder days and a strong sense of community have made this an unforgettable kickoff to our season.

It’s been such a pleasure meeting so many new faces and seeing people step into volunteer roles. Your energy and enthusiasm are what make this season so special.

All our programs are in full swing, and we’ve just finished a busy weekend ahead before the holiday break. Freeride spent the weekend in Kicking Horse, our FIS athletes were racing in Panorama, and we hosted the U16 and U14 athletes at the South Zone Open SL race (grizzly bear and all). Lots to cheer for!

I also want to send best wishes to Coach Emile for a speedy recovery after his injury last Sunday in West Bowl. Huge thanks to Ski Patrol and his athletes for handling the situation with such professionalism and care.
​
Enjoy your holiday break, and I hope you get plenty of ski days with family and friends!

Bonus! Check out my new original song to the tune of the 12 days of Christmas.
 
On the twelfth day of December, Lake Louise gave to me

12 rolls of netting
11 shredders shredding
10 leapfrogs leaping
9 Betsy landings 
8 grizzlies screaming
7 race kids arcing
6 freeriders flipping
5 knee deep days
4 new tricks
3 voli credits
2 RISE nominees
And the most snow in recent history!
