We are excited to announce that registration for the 2023 Bozocup and Kindercup is open.  Come out and celebrate Rob Bosinger’s legacy at our host resort, the beautiful Mount Norquay!

Past, present and the future of our alpine ski racing community unite featuring junior racers, current and alumni national team members, Olympians, coaches, masters’ racers, junior racers and friends of the ski racing community.

You can register at www.bozocup.com.    This is truly the best spring party in the Rockies and hope to see you all there!

We have another Club Feature for you!

Why do we love ESC Alpine?
Because they are a little club with a huge heart!

Their annual ESC Alpine Race Series is hosted in the heart of Edmonton in early January and this year’s events were DYNAMITE!

They hosted 87 Regional Athletes on the Saturday and then kicked off the North Zone NGSL series with 235 athletes on the Sunday! They even brought back the obstacle course.

With a rookie ROC full of eager energy and drive, this year’s events came together with teamwork and growth. They couldn’t have done it without the support of the North Zone Ski Community!

Thank you to each and every volunteer, sponsor and ski racer who made this event fun and successful!
