Did you have fun at the Canadian Masters Championships last winter? How about getting ready for some fun races in the coming winter?

And young skiers, this coming winter, we’ll focus on youth and all ages events! Time to start seriously training!

See the poster below, regional training camp in PEI, for all ages!

Avez-vous eu du plaisir aux Championnats canadiens des maîtres l’hiver dernier ?

Que diriez-vous de vous préparer à d’autres courses amusantes ?

Et les jeunes, lors du prochain hiver, nous organiserons des événements pour jeunes et pour tous les âges. C’est le temps de s’entraîner sérieusement !

Voyez l’affiche ci-dessous, camp régional pour tous les âges à l’IPE !

One of the interested participants is a visually-impaired skier. She would like to participate in the roller skiing and/or ski-striding event on July 29. Would someone or two be willing to give her a hand by guiding her through the woods for ski striding and possibly on roller skis? She has a communication system that works very well for downhill and cross country skiing and bicycling.

Please contact us by DM and we will connect you with the visually-impaired participant.
