U14 Series Finals….A Success!

Despite April weather offering a sample of all 4 seasons, the U14 athletes finished their ski season with a number of personal bests, a handful of medals/ribbons, and ear-to-ear grins throughout a successful race series at Panorama Mountain Resort.

In addition to Panorama’s own Cassidy Gray (Canadian National Women’s Alpine Ski Team) providing an inspirational message while handing out awards, the athletes were treated to festival-like environment with live music, popcorn and Powerade, while meeting new friends in both the resort pools and ski hill wide game of “man-tracker”.

A special congratulations to the U14 Finals Series winners Alex Madra (FAST) and Eric Ward (PANO) as well as all the athletes who persevered over 3 days of racing.

We’d also like to thank the events title sponsors CF Construction and Volker Stevin, as well as Genstar Developments for sponsoring the U14 Finals hats!  The series was also supported by Anthem United, Kal Tire, KIDCO, Excel Homes, Marmot Construction, RGO, and Scotia Wealth Management.

AASA wants to thank Team Panorama, the ROC, all the volunteers, coaches and Panorama Mountain Resort for putting on such a great event. 

Congratulations to all the athletes and we wish you all best in the off-season.

Updated Covid-19 Protocols for the 2021- 2022 Season – Feb 9, 2022

February 9, 2022

To: AASA Membership:

Updated Covid19 Protocols for the 2021- 2022 Season

Dear Members,

As Covid19 continues to change and evolve, AHS has been updating its protocols and restrictions to meet the new challenges.

AHS Protocols

AHS has terminated the REP program as of 11:59 pm February 8th, 2022.

Covid19 Protocols for Alberta Alpine sanctioned races.

With the ending of the REP program AASA will no longer require proof of vaccinations to participate in Alberta Alpine sanctioned events for all ages.

AASA requires all members to follow the AHS Covid19 current protocols, along with the Covid19 protocols at both your local ski resort and any ski resorts that you plan to visit this season. Ski resorts may have enhanced protocols that go beyond what AHS has put in place, and this needs to be followed.

If you are traveling to another province or internationally, please contact their local health authority on what Covid19 protocols they have in place.

AASA strongly recommends that everyone who is eligible, get their double dose of the vaccination as well as getting a booster if eligible. It is very important that all coaches, officials, and volunteers are vaccinated not only to protect the community but also to ensure their jobs can be done safely.

Accepted Covid19 Vaccines in Canada.
• Pfizer-BioNTech (Comirnaty, tozinameran, BNT162b2)
• Moderna (Spikevax, mRNA-1273)
• AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD (ChAdOx1-S, Vaxzevria, AZD1222)
• Janssen/Johnson & Johnson (Ad26.COV2.S)

The Covid19 pandemic has shown us all that it is always changing, and protocols will need to change with it.

If you have any questions, please give me a call. Best regards,

Patrick Gillespie
President of Alberta Alpine Ski Association
