Sunridge Ski Team hosted the 2018 Sunridge Ski Cross Challenge which included races from both the FIS Ski Cross Series and Western Ski Cross Series presented by Alpine Canada Alpin and Alberta Alpine Ski Association. This 3-day race event was the first stop in the Western Ski Cross Series with athletes in categories U12, U14, U16 Open & FIS with athletes training on Friday, January 12 followed by races on Jan. 13 & 14.
December 9-10 saw our U12 PACE and U14-19 racers take to the slopes of Marmot Basin for some hardcore race training. Athletes trained on the challenging practice course set by their coaches on Upper Dromedary and Porteous Way
 What a great start to the 17/16 season! Athletes were ready to start working hard and so were their parents as we offered a parent information session in our brand new clubhouse.
With early snow in the mountains our athletes headed out for an early full club camp at Sunshine Village to get some early training in. A great time was had by all and this early training means a great start for Sunridge racers!
 This year's Smile for Cam Race was a great success with almost 200 Nancy Greene racers taking part in the two run Kinder Kombi event. Warm conditions were a welcome change from recent races and made racing and spectating that much more enjoyable. Sunridge athletes made a strong showing in both races with 33 top ten finishes and 3 podiums for the club!
