We recently hosted a junior team from the Gällivare Skidgymnasium, which is one of five national ski academies in Sweden. The team visited as part of an exchange program that includes Cross Country BC sending a team to Sweden. Their visit overlapped with the BC Ski Team/BC Development Squad/BC Para Nordic Team fall dryland camp (Whistler September 15-20). 49 athletes from across the province attended! The next provincial camp for the BC Ski Team and BC Development Squad will be the CCBC Snow Camp in Vernon from November 17-22.

July 24-31, 2026 CCBC offered two drop-in camps for Provincial Team athletes to take advantage of some time on our roller ski treadmill and on the trails of Whistler Olympic Park without the structure of a provincial team camp. CCBC coaches Chris Manhard and Zach Hill worked with athletes on technical focus areas on the treadmill and then applied this focus to the roller ski track thereafter. They offered two intensity sessions building on the technical focus areas each athlete were developing and the remainging technical work was done at a longer slow distance pace.
With smaller groups coaches were able to get some one-on-one time with athletes and video analysis for the athletes that were present.

This was a self-directed camp where athletes were responsible for their own transport and accommodations.

We have exciting news!

A family that has been deeply touched by the positive impact of CCBC provincial ski programs has stepped forward with an extraordinary offer: they will match all donations made to Cross Country BC, up to a total of $20,000.

This is especially meaningful at a time when government funding for sport has remained stagnant (not even keeping pace with inflation). This could be the largest single donation ever made to our provincial sport system.

If you would like to support this initiative and effectively double the impact of your contribution, donations can be made by visiting the following link: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/146061 (please select "Cross Country BC" from the dropdown menu). Deadline is September 15, 2026.

All donations are tax-deductible and donors will receive a charitable tax receipt. Every dollar raised will directly support the development of athletes, coaches, and officials across our province.

Thank you for helping to strengthen the future of cross-country skiing in British Columbia!
