Our U8, U10, and U12 athletes gathered at Sun Peaks Resort this past weekend to ski at the 13th annual Nancy Greene Ski League (NGSL) Festival, joining nearly 600 kids in a 2-day race and skills event.
The Vancouver Ski Team kicked off their 2023-2024 season by returning to Mt Sima, Whitehorse! Over 3 weeks, athletes had the opportunity to train in stellar conditions, get two race starts, revisit last year’s memories, and make new ones.
"I know a day is of high quality when the athletes and coaches make a step in the right direction. We are all learning everyday and small wins create big wins."
"Be sure to check in with yourself and think about the reasons why you started something when you have a bad day. That will refocus you and bring you a renewed sense of purpose."
"Always give it your best and show up. You'll see results. It's hard for young athletes to understand that but you see it so clearly when you're older."
