The Whistler Mountain Ski Club (WMSC) offers a Masters Race Training Program. The Masters Program will provide high quality training in preparation for local, regional, national and international masters’ races. The program is primarily oriented towards dedicated experienced high end adult racers whose goals are personal excellence in ski racing, and who want to commit time and energy to a focused, disciplined training program.
Ski racing experience is a prerequisite for participation in the WMSC masters program. While there is strong emphasis on GS and SL gate training, the Masters Team will also work on developing fundamental Technical skiing skills.
This is a solid program similar in quality and intensity to WMSC’s highly successful junior programs, but tailored for the desires and time limitations of the adult racer. All Masters racers are entitled to the use of the Whistler Mountain Ski Club’s facilities and are welcome to partake in the club’s activities and functions.
