Canadian National Championships 2026

Panorama, BC – The 2026 Canadian National Championships were held at Panorama Resort March 31 through April 5 and showcased extremely high-level racing in Super-G, GS, and Slalom events despite the challenges of brutal weather conditions. The culmination of an intense competition season, this series presents an opportunity for National, Provincial, and Club-level athletes to measure themselves against each other. For some, it’s the first chance to do so this winter depending on where race schedules cross paths between the World Cup, NorAm, and Provincial Cup series.
