It wasn’t the noisy, boisterous, back-slapping, and hugging sort of night that it usually is, but Alberta Alpine’s Highest Peak Gala and Canadian Rockies Ski Racing Hall of Fame online event on April 27^th was still a hit. In so many wonderful ways!

The action-packed hour was paced by the ever-amazing Host Kelly VanderBeek, Alberta Alpine boss Pat Gillespie, and Produced by Christopher Colpitts and his capable team. Read more.
