Program overview

This program is for Masters (19 yrs +) athletes who are interested in skiing for fitness and competition in a keen and friendly setting, but have other life priorities such as school, work, and/or family. Masters Racers enjoy a season of on-snow sessions from December to March, and dry-land training opportunities in October and November. Sessions are led by the Club’s Head Coach and occasional guest coaches. A detailed training plan is provided.

Improve your technical and tactical skills in both classic and skate technique, improve your fitness to cruiser level or blaster level… you choose. The best part of this program is the people, from ski enthusiast to keen competitor, whom you get to meet, train and ski with.

The primary focus for Masters is Loppet and Masters race events including local, regional, provincial or international for those who are so inclined. Favourites include our very own Vancouver Island Loppet and, off-island, the P’ayakentsut Loppet at Whistler Olympic Park. The BC Cup Series is a great focus for masters who have kids in our youth racing programs. The season wraps up with the Tour de Strathcona, where skiers do their best to ski every trail in a single day (which may include a chairlift ride with skis in hand).
