Welcome to the Home of the BC Ski Cross Program
As the newest Olympic sport, Ski Cross now has a BC program. The Canadian National Ski Cross Team has been in operation for a full year with great success, and a number of their athletes, are among the favourites for the 2010 Olympic Games. The BC program is run through the WMSC and designed for those member athletes who wish to pursue this exhilarating form of ski racing. Courses are patterned after Moto Cross with banked corners, and a variety of terrain features to challenge and excite any competitor. Skiing with 3 other competitors on the track adds a whole new dimension to racing. Skills to be mastered include starts, jumps and a carving skis for maximum speed. The Program will include several races and/or camps at various locations in BC that will engage and challenge all prospective competitors. Join the new school of ski racing – Skier X.
The new BC Ski Cross program will be headed up by Head Coach Drew Hetherington who comes to the program with Alpine and Ski Cross coaching experience.
Chris Kent will be heading up the event management which will see the creation of 2 BC Ski Cross events located around the province during the 2010 season.
