What a great season!

Brady Leman from the Calgary Alpine Club and AST has had outstanding results all year on the World Cup Ski Cross Tour with 8 trips to the podium including 2 victories. Brady stands 2nd in the overall World Cup standings and has set his sight winning the gold medal at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in South Korea.

Astonishing performances by Mac Marcoux and guide Jack Leitch at the World Para-Alpine Skiing Championships in Tarvisio, Italy. 4 Gold and 1 Silver! Jack was born and raised in Calgary is another product of the Calgary Alpine Racing Club and spent 3 years honing his skills with the Alberta Ski Team before transitioning to Mac’s guide this past summer. Now they are FIS World Para-Alpine Skiing Champions. Well done Mac and Jack!

Another great success story for Alberta has been the success of Erik Read (Banff Alpine Racers) on the World Cup circuit. Erik is now ranked in the top 30 in the World Cup for both slalom and giant slalom. Erik has been a consummate professional both on and off the hill. His ability to balance all his commitments to Denver University, including missing a World Cup so he could race for his school at a required race in is remarkable. Coach Education
