April 8 is UBC Giving Day, the perfect excuse to support your favorite ski team ⛷️

Happy International Women’s Day to all our strong, speedy superstars!! 🌸

Last week our team traveled to McCall, Idaho for our regional championships at Brundage Mountain! Over the week our athletes skied through fresh snow, bluebird weather, and windy conditions. With impressive performances, both teams placed 7th in GS and 9th in Slalom to secure qualifications for nationals! On the men’s side, combining both disciplines, Lukas, Phillip, and Nelson finished in the top 30 while Malia and Bella placed in the top 20 for the women! Congrats to our seniors, Lukas, Malia, and Nelson for strong finishes in their last races, we’ll miss you next year! 🥺🫶 And of course thank you to all of our amazing athletes that make up our beautiful team, we can’t wait for another great season with you all! Go birds!!! 🤙🦅🎿

This Valentine’s Day weekend our team returned to Lookout Pass, Idaho and dominated the slopes. After years of waiting, the snow finally fell and the surface held up for our athletes to all finish in the top 15! The men’s team also took home a win on Saturday, but if you weren’t intimidated enough by the t-birds this weekend we’ll see you later this week in Brundage where we’ll unleash our full roster 😈💪

This past weekend our team switched disciplines and competed in slalom out in Lookout Pass, Idaho. Congrats to Bella, Lukas, and Nelson for their top 10 finishes! While the snow conditions have been questionable, our team still left with a men’s 3rd place on Saturday, 4th on Sunday, and two consistent 5th places for the women’s team. We’ll see everyone back in Lookout Pass next weekend! ⛷️❄️

Mood before race day…

This past weekend the team ventured out to Idaho for our first qualifier of the season! The weather held up and our athletes shredded Steep and Deep at Silver Mountain despite our lack of training beforehand. We saw impressive top 10 performances by Bea, Lukas, Phillip, and Sam, with the men’s team coming home with a win on day 2! Shoutout to our rookies Lukas, Jamie, Justin, and Kaede for absolutely killing it at their first race with the team! Congrats everyone and we’ll see you next week in Lookout Pass. Go birds! 🦅💪

🚨❄️⛷️Did you forget to get your skis tuned at the beginning of the season? Edges already dull from the icy conditions? We got your back! Next week on Wednesday and Thursday we’ll be outside the UBC aquatic center from 9-5pm sharpening and waxing your skis and boards. Don’t forget to drop them off at any point in the day, and even grab a hot coco while you stop by! Hope to see you then 🤗

Thank you to everyone who came out to our tuning fundraiser and supported the team! We hope you have a great start to the ski season and if you missed us this week, catch us at another fundraiser in January or February to freshen up your skis and boards mid-season!💪🎿

💡What is Giving Day? It's UBC's 24-hour online fundraising event, where the entire community comes together to support different causes.

This past week our men's and women's teams represented Canada at the USCSA National Championships in Mr. Bachelor, Oregon! With over 30 different teams, the team competed against top collegiate athletes in a week-long series of intense races. The men's team delivered amazing performances in slalom, for an overall 13th place team result. The women's team also demonstrated strong results in slalom, with an overall team finish in 21st! While giant slalom proved more challenging for both teams, the team’s dedication and hard work were on full display, making for an exciting and memorable championship to finish off the season. Great job to all our athletes, we can't wait to see what next year has in store for us!
