Head on over to the club website at www.craigleith.com and click through to the Alpine Programs Registration section. Make sure you sign up before the November 15th early-bird deadline, as prices go up after that date.

PreSeason Adult Race Camp
A note from Glenn Blaylock:
We are pleased to announce Craigleith Ski Club, in cooperation with Catalyst Sport Science, is offering two adult pre-season race camps at Sun Peaks this December.
Glenn Blaylock, Head Coach, Adult Race Programs and Greg Roe will be coaching.
Camp #1: Starts December 5th for 6 days. Camp #2: Starts December 12th for 6 days.
The camp costs $1658 for 6 Days/ $3316 for 12 Days. The costs cover lift tickets, training, coaching, video, and timing. The costs do not cover flights, accommodation, food, and transfers to and from airports.
To simplify the billing process your Craigleith account will be billed for the deposit and remaining portion of the fee.
Accommodation will be held for athletes at the Cahility Lodge and the Sun Peaks Grand. Discounts will be applied to the regular daily rates.
More information including suggested flights and the Registration link are provided by the attached weblink: https://forms.office.com/r/Qa7CewgWuh
If you have any questions, you can email Glenn Blaylock a lockgc@gmail.com .
