The Goals of the club are:
1. To promote the
sport and enjoyment (fun!) of cross-country skiing.
2. To encourage participation in cross-country
skiing and provide opportunities for skier development
3. To establish and maintain programs and activities
that support an integrated skier (athlete) development
system up to the provincial team level.
4. To create a unified voice for cross country
skiers at Mt Washington and on Vancouver Island.
5.To work for the improvement and development
of cross country ski facilities on Vancouver Island.
One of our most exciting club goals
is to send Vancouver Island skiers, coaches and officials
to the 2010 Olympics which we hope will held in Vancouver
/ Whistler. Making the Olympics takes many
years of training and preparation. By developing a strong
skier development program we can provide the opportunity
for local athletes to aim for the Olympics. Competitive
international skiers range in age from early 20s
to mid 30s where will you be in 10 years? Likewise,
coaches and officials will be required for the Olympics
and the club program provides the starting point and
access to the certification course and experience needed
to get there.
