Our ski programs are designed and supported Alpine Canada Alpin’s Athlete Integration Model –(AIM). Based on the principles of growth, development and maturation the AIM model is a tool that assists coaches, parents and volunteers in providing the best environment for our athletes. Similarly our snowboarding program supports the goals of the Alberta Snowboarding Association to foster and facilitate ongoing development of Canadian Snowboarding athletes, coaches and officials from a grassroots level.
