Central Alberta Freestyle Ski Club

Sunrise... Rodeo... Misty... these may be weird terms to some, but not to freestyle skiers, as these are only a few of the words used to describe jumps. And BIG AIR is a whole new area of development for competition in freestyle skiing. We will see many more new jumps and words to describe these as freestyle skiing moves into a new era. Competition will take off in BIG AIR using table tops, half-pipes and quarter-pipes similar to snowboarding. Freestyle skiing is exciting to spectators as well as participants.

The Central Alberta Freestyle Ski Club is an active and notable freestyle ski team, which trains at Canyon Ski Area in the winter.

We also are associated with the largest entry program to freestyle skiing in Canada. The Jumps and Bumps program consists of over 80 young skiers who take lessons with volunteer coaches for 6 - 8 weeks on Saturday mornings. This reflects a tremendous interest in freestyle. All programs require a large commitment by both athletes and parents and we are grateful for the parent participation in our club.

History

The Central Alberta Freestyle Ski Club was formally constituted in 1980. The Club started with about 6 athletes and presently has a membership roster of 140 members consisting of 20 athletes, 80 Jumps and Bumps members, coaches and volunteers. The water ramp at Three Mile Bend was built by club members in 1987.
