Wild West Freestyle Ski Club

FASTEST GROWING FREESTYLE SKI CLUB IN CANADA
Man can these kids ski and do they ever have fun!!! Just try to keep up for a run or two with this bunch and you'll quickly know why some of the hottest freestyle skiers in Alberta hail from Castle Mt. Resort in southern Alberta. "The Castle" is home to Wild West Freestyle Ski Club.

Started in 1996 by a small enthusiastic gang of freestylers, the club has now grown to a staff of four NCCP/CFSA certified coaches and 30 or so dedicated athletes. Head Coach Adrian Taggart encourages skiers to start dryland training early in September. By the time the snow flys in December, Wild West athletes are ready to rip up the bumps and huck huge air.

Having fun while developing competitive skills and good sportsmanship is the number one goal of Wild West. In 2003 seven Wild West athletes qualified for Jr. Nationals in Quebec. Overall the club won the 2003 Alberta Freestyle Ski Associations Club Grand Prix award. Wild West athletes compete in both moguls and new school events (1/2 pipe and big air).

Castle Mt. Resort and Wild West Freestyle offer a fully sanctioned moguls run and air site, and the vertical and terrain to keep avid freestylers smiling all the way to the next run.
