The Carving the Future program started as a chance to provide skiers with physical disabilities the opportunity to try ski racing for the first time and have a chance to work directly with National Team Coaches. The program now provides support to programs at all levels along with the Para-Alpine Long Term Athlete Development plan.
Para Alpine Carving the Future Teaser
The Carving the Future program is a multidimensional approach to athlete development and focuses on three main pillars:
- Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion: Carving the Future provides opportunities for Canadians with a disability to try ski racing with a national team coach and helps the facilitation of athlete development at all levels. It aims to break down barriers of participation for all levels of sport, from grassroots to High Performance.
- Alignment of the Para-Alpine system: Carving the Future aims to bring together ski hills, ski clubs and adaptive ski programs from Coast to Coast to Coast with Alpine Canada, to introduce racing to athletes, coaches, volunteers, and families.
- Athlete Identification: Carving the Future works closely with Para-Alpine stakeholders across Canada to identify potential next-generation Paralympic Winter Games Athletes, and to provide support to those athletes in their development
