With the global pandemic capturing our undivided attention over the past month, it was with no surprise that our competition season had to be abbreviated.  In BC we lost out on the BC Championships (Whistler) and our 1st Annual Alumni Invitational (Silver Star).  Our High-Performance Athletes also lost out on both the Junior (HP/SS/BA) in Stoneham, Quebec and Senior National (MO) Championships at our very own HP training center, Apex Mountain.

Firstly I would like to recognize the incredible efforts of the host clubs, and resorts to bring us together; it is no small task to prepare these events and to do so without actually being able to deliver is without a doubt deeply disappointing. 

Secondly to our team of driven athletes who have committed themselves to excellence, high performance and to become the best possible ambassadors through sport, THANK YOU.  Thank you for your commitment to sport during the bright days and for your patience and focus through the down days.  Our HP athletes have been a beacon bright light for all people in BC,  both on and off our wonder-filled, mountainous, fields of play.  

All that said we are happy to report our teams made it home safely when this whole COVID-19 $#@~storm hit, and they came home with many success stories to share. As a collective group, we can certainly reflect on our year with satisfaction and joy. Both our HP Teams (MO and SS/HP) had outstanding seasons both on and off the competition circuit, and now we can all take a moment to catch our breath and celebrate their dedication to the sport.

It is our HP Team athletes that we often focus on and celebrate as they are both the peak of our performance pyramid and the fuel that supports the base of our foundation.  When asked why our sport is so potent, the most consistent reply is Motivation Through Mentorship.  It is the kind words, shared stoke and the stories created by our older athletes that keep our younger athletes hungry, motivated and driven to achieve excellence.

Sport has been said to be (by many world-class athletes) the great school of life.  We agree, and also see the mountains as our humble teachers and the world-class coaches that we support in BC, they are the glue that brings us together.  Thank YOU, coaches.
