Happy Easter! If any club families are at the hill tomorrow (Easter Sunday) we would love for you to join us at the Village Center Mall where Telus will be presenting our club with a cheque for proceeds of the Telus Cup! If you can make it, we will be gathering at 10:50 for the presentation at 11am. If you have one, please wear your club jacket or even the club t-shirt since it has been so nice out! Hope to see you there! :)

This summer is going to be an excellent snow year and the glacier is in great shape! The camp is available to BWSC racers and other racers in the Okanagan zone according to birth years noted below.

A summer ski camp is a great start for athletes looking to get a head start on next year. Plus there is a lot to do besides skiing while in the Whistler valley. Don’t forget to bring your mountain bike and swim suit! First year U12’s (born 2007) are welcome to join the camp but should consider staying with their parents. Second year U12’s and all U14’s and U16’s may also do this or do the full camp. This year all meals at the camp are included. We have hired a professional chef to prepare hot breakfasts and dinners and bag lunches. Racers just need to bring a bag lunch for the trip to Whistler. Our first meal is dinner in Whistler on the night of July 11th.

U12 – born 2007 and 2006
U14 – born 2005 and 2004
U16 – born 2003 and 2002

1st deposit: $300.00 due May 15th

Over the years our community has supported the Big White Ski Club with generous donations for our Annual Fundraising Gala. The funds we raise go directly back into our programs. This past season our club was able to purchase much needed new radios, gates and drills.

This year our focus is to raise funds to contribute to the purchase of a Club Van, Timing Equipment, Video Cameras and our regular on-hill equipment. We would appreciate your support once again and have a few sponsorship opportunities for our event this year;

$1,700 Red Carpet VIP
$1,300 Champagne Reception
$750 Appy/Dessert Table

Sponsorship details are attached.

If a donation isn’t in the budget this year, perhaps you will be able to attend our Duelling Pianos show, last year it sold out! You could get a table of ten together and Invite some friends and family, you won’t be sorry.

Please contact Rachel Renaud for details, rachel@bigwhiteskiclub.com

Thank you and hope we see you soon!
