2022 Season Recap
We would like to recognize the spectacular efforts of our GKHAT coaches, volunteers, athletes and parents for working so hard to have the best possible season in 2022. We enjoyed a return to race events and we couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you to everyone who gave generously of their time to make this a fabulous and fun season for our skiers!
  • This season, we coached 100+ athletes on snow, made improvements to our ski cross course, hosted two club events, a Kootenay Zone U12 race, 250 racers at the BC High School Provincials and celebrated the end of our season together at our Banquet.
  • The Ski Academy ran its second year with high school athletes training midweek at racing and free-skiing all season.
  • Our U8/10/12/14/16 skiers traveled to Red Mountain, Fernie Alpine Resort, Panorama, Big White, and Whitewater this season!
  • Coach Ryan added to our GKHAT family with the arrival of Eliza Katharine Ford on March 26.
Thank you to all our amazing sponsors: Dogtooth Construction, Sagelink, Gurski Electric, Selkirk Sports, Kardash Plumbing & Heating, Golden Alpine Holidays, CBT, who have supported our program and athletes this season.
 
We are already looking forward to making Season 2023 our best ever!

GKHAT Summer Camp 2022

2022-23 Preseason Training
Planning for 2022-23 has already begun, and we will once again offer our Performance 60 program for U12/14/16 athletes as well as some pre-season training opportunities for U10/12/14/16 athletes in November. If you have an athlete who would be interested in either of these program options, please watch for more information as it rolls out this summer!

2022-23 Ski Academy
We are wrapping up the second year of our Ski Academy, a program run in conjunction with the high school in Golden. If you have a skier going into grade 8 or 9, who is interested in training 2-3 afternoons a week (technical free skiing and gates with dryland training in the off season), please email Ryan at headcoach@gkhat.ca. More information coming this spring!
