2009 - 2010 Ski League Times 

The main (mandatory) lessons this year will occur Saturday mornings at 10:30 am!

This change is to make it easier for everyone to get here

plus after the lessons kids can come into the lodge , warm up, eat lunch

 . . . and then go out and ski with their family in the afternoon.

The first session will be Saturday, January 2, 2010

 with the final session being the Mini-Olympics on Saturday, March 6th, 2010.

Exception:  Being an Olympic year we realize that some may wish to take off to the coast to take in the Olympics during the weekends.  Therefore, for the last two weeks in February, lessons will be held Wednesday evenings at 6 pm (Feb 17th & 24th, 2010) for all groups, instead of Saturday morning.  This will also expose the kids to the fun of night skiing which will broaden their horizons.

NEW For 2010:

Additonal fun opportunities to develop your skills.

The more time on skis, the more fun your kids will be able to have.

This year we have also decided to open an additional 2 practices per week on top of the main Saturday lessons.  These additional lessons are open to every category in the Ski League program for no additional cost.  For levels 1 to 4 the groups will participate as a group on select nights depending on the coaches schedules although all participants are welcome and will be supported every night.  For levels 4, Track Attack and JD's it is expected that they participate in the full program.

Tuesday nights:

Time Trials night.  Warm up at 6 pm with time trials starting at 6:15 pm.  Everyone is welcome from all categories, including club members.  A weekly offer to the levels 1-4 is to have one session per group per Tuesday (following the time trials) to work on a specific skill utilizing Chris Werrell as a guest coach.  Coaches will arrange a Tuesday to accommodate their group.

Thursday nights:

Technique night, 6 pm.  Will involve video and a diversity of technique sessions to work on speed and skills.

Planned Events:

Planned events are events that participation from all ages and levels is highly encouraged and will be supported by the coaches with wax support as well as technical support.  These events are a lot of fun and a great chance for your kids to apply the skills they have learned.

• Salmon Arm Fun Race / BC Winter Games trials.  This race is open to all ages and is a one-day event.

• Kelowna BC Cup.  This race is an overnight race and we would like a full program attendance at this event to provide an opportunity to particpate in this scale of event as a learning experience.
