Ski Club Registration

It's that time again... Registration! The season is fast approaching and we'd like to get the forms filled out as soon as possible so we can start processing payments. I'm hoping to get a sense of who's returning and who might want to sign up. Pass the form on to anyone you think might want to give it a try this year.
Fees are being reduced to $200 for Nancy Greene this year. The GM sponsorship has ended and there will be no raffle this year, so that meens a reduction of the $50 for the ticket books. Make cheques out to Mt Baldy Alpine Club, 2128 Sandstone Drive, Pencton V2A 8Y7.

Nancy Greene Schedule: Starting date - January 8th, 2012 for ten Sundays 9:30am-12:30pm

Cost Schedule:
Nancy Greene (E1, E2)  $200
K1-K2 Level                  $1,100

Zone Meeting November 2nd

Just a brief update of the zone meeting that took place Wednesday night in Vernon. The season schedule was discussed as well as format for zone races, qualifications for BC Winter Games and Whistler Cup.

Points to note:

• Mt Baldy will hold the South Zone "Cup Cake" race on February 5th, 2012. The format is up to our club but the focus has been on slalom the past few years. Last year's race at Crystal was a stubby slalom but everyone agreed that Baldy's glalom format was challenging, fun and suitable for the terrain. Zone finals are at Big White on March 3rd-4th and the Sun Peaks Festival is March 23-24th
• We're trying to line up a level one technical training course for gatekeeping and officiating. Stay tuned for some dates. We'll need as many parents out as possible
• K1 dates (all) for races and camps: We'll have to decide what we're going to.
• December 18th Slalom time trial (5 timed runs) - Apex
• January 14-15th GS - Sun Peaks
• February 3-5th Speed Camp - Silver Star
• February 23-26th BC Winter Games (6 boy/6girls and 1 wildcard from our zone)
• SL, GS and SkiX (replaces kombi - time trial format i.e. one skier at a time)
• March 17-19th K1 Provincials - Big White
• SL, GS and SkiX (time trial format)
• March 31-Apr 1st Zone Finals, Slalom & Dual SL - Revelostoke
• Apr 6-8th - Whistler Cup - rule change - each club has a quota of 3/3. No provincial qualifying
• BC Alpine has a new Entry Level Coordinator - Justine Parent. She was present at the meeting and will be coming around to most hills to deliver the EL Academy to coaches. Our date is January 8th which is our first day of training for NG. Should be interesting for coaches. Justine will be following us around and we'll need to have a training plan to show her
• FIS age grouping changes coming into effect in 2013 (age as of Dec 31st of season start)
• U10 - what was E1 4-9 year olds
