NORTHERN BC FREESTYLE SKI CLUB
ABOUT US
The club is dedicated to fostering fun, enjoyment, and excellence in freestyle skiing, instruction, coaching, and competition for competitive and non-competitive skiers in our region. Nationally, freestyle skiing disciplines including aerials, halfpipe, moguls, and slopestyle/big air, and most recently freeride (skiing big mountain alpine faces). Most skiers in our club have traditionally participated in slopestyle/big air (park skiing and big air) and moguls, for which the club has easiest access to terrain, features, facilities, and coaching. We are sanctioned and operate according to Freestyle BC, our Provincial Sport Organization (PSO), and Freestyle Canada, our National Sport Organization (NSO). We teach freestyle skiing and need participants to arrive already having sufficient downhill skiing ability—which can be learned at local snow schools—and which we continue developing in Fundamentalz and Freestylerz programs. Our coaching develops needed technical skiing elements as well as specific and greater opportunity for freestyle skier development towards competitions and long-term sport for life.

Volunteering Requirement
(to come as club develops)
Although we are not starting it for the 2023-2024 season, we will likely start requiring parent/guardian volunteer hours in the future as our need to support of club activities grows. Following the practice in most other sports, we will require a parent/guardian of every club athlete to contribute to the smooth
operation of the club and its events by volunteering. Specifically, we will require a minimum X volunteer hours for each registered athlete. We will use a volunteer bond of $X (per athlete), refunded at the end of the season once volunteer hours have been completed. Parents/guardians wishing to opt out may
simply pay the $X fee (per athlete). Driving to and from the ski hills is not included.
Volunteer activities can involve…
Car pooling more than your family
Chaperoning athletes to events
Being sweep skier with younger skier groups (if you can keep up!)
Fund raising
Assisting with organizing and running events
Officiating
Social events
Helping our athletes or board of directors with your relevant experience and skills
