Ways to Give

BE PART OF THE TEAM BY SUPPORTING OUR ATHLETES!

To reach the podium, our athletes need rigorous dryland training, access to ski camps around the globe, superior year-round coaching, travel to national and international competitions, proper nutrition, essential mental performance support, and state of the art equipment. Donors play a significant role in ensuring our athletes have all the resources they need to reach their full potential and make Canada proud on the global ski racing scene. Below is a list of ways that you can make a difference in the journey of our ski racing champions.
