It‘s been a year unlike any other and we’re starving for what makes ski racing here great – coming together to socialize, tell stories, and to get things done for the sake of the sport and its athletes. The Highest Peak Gala typically marks the start of the season, but we’ve adapted and will use the occasion to celebrate the personalities of the sport and what we were able to accomplish as we near the end of this COVID season. We’re coming together online, but we’ve worked hard to capture that special essence of this popular event!
With Canmore resident, Sport Broadcaster, and former Canadian World Cup podium winner VanderBeek at the helm, the evening will be entertaining and action packed.
Looking for Great Experiences and Gear?
The Gala always delivers with the Silent Auction, and this year is no different. We’re going online at https://shop.albertaalpine.ca/ with rare and unique items and adventures that will put you into the middle of the action. And if you need to shop for snow or other gear, you won’t be disappointed. Bidding will open at noon on Friday April 22, with updates and reminders on social media and broadcast throughout the evening – especially for the showstoppers! AASA’s 50/50 Raffle starts at the same time will be drawn for as well during the evening, and there will be plenty of ‘Donate Now’ buttons to contribute what you can for the evening and the Association’s programs. Of course, the Wine and Chocolate Raffle is a must!
The Leader Board – our Athletes!
Alberta Alpine and Ski Cross Team Athletes will be featured throughout the evening and will provide us Dryland Training Tips and reflect on their season.
There will be feature interviews with SX World Cup Crystal Globe Winner Reese Howden and with AST Grad Cassidy Gray who rocketed into the results in her World Cup debut season!
Celebrating our Ski Community—Canadian Rockies Ski Racing Hall of Fame!
Join us in honouring five incredible members of our sport into the CRSRHOF 2020 induction ceremony. First awarded in 1968, the CRSRHOF is a legacy event, honouring life-long dedication to ski racing by Jim Read, Judy Dickson-Foster, Ethyl Lumby, Claudio Berto and Bob Leitch with the goal to support future champions in the province, and all proceeds invested into Alberta ski racing programs.
Sporting Life – our partner!
Challenging to do our popular Sporting Life ski-fashion show with our Team members this year, so instead, we’re going into Sporting Life’s back-shop for equally entertaining tips on preparing your gear for summer storage.
