Teck Coast Cup Series Kicks Off at Whistler Olympic Park

The Teck Coast Cup #1, held this past Saturday at the Whistler Olympic Park, saw 248 participants take part in a thrilling day of cross-country skiing. The event welcomed athletes of all ages, representing various skill levels and experiences.

Under sunny skies and temperatures of -2°C, competitors enjoyed excellent conditions on the fast, well-maintained trails of the Biathlon venue. The event featured a mix of participants from local and regional clubs, including Hollyburn Cross-Country Ski Club, Whistler Nordic Ski Club, Sea to Sky Nordic Ski Club, Nordic Racers, Spud Valley Nordic Ski Club, and Tetrahedron – Dakota Ridge Nordics, who made their first appearance at the event.

Among the youngest competitors was 3-year-old Ingrid McMurtry, while the oldest participant was 73-year-old para-athlete Bill Moore, showcasing the inclusivity and broad appeal of the sport. The Teck Coast Cup is known for its diverse range of participants, and this year’s race was no exception, featuring athletes of all abilities, from the youngest skiers racing a 100 m course to seasoned masters competing in a 9 km race.

“We are thrilled with the turnout and the competitive spirit shown by athletes of all ages,” said Chelsea Little, Chief of Competition. “It’s inspiring to see such a broad spectrum of athletes, from young children just starting to elite competitors, all coming together to enjoy cross-country skiing.”

Hollyburn – Chelsea Nordiq Exchange underway!

This past week, 13 athletes from Chelsea, Quebec made their way to Vancouver to participate in an Experiences Canada exchange with athletes from Hollyburn ski club (years 2010-2012)

A lot of preparation and team work went into preparing for our Quebecois guests, who arrived on January 1st and started off the trip with a polar bear plunge at Spanish Banks beach.  A fun-filled itinerary saw the participants skiing at Hollyburn, hiking in Lynn Canyon, overnighting in a Hollyburn ridge cabin, and finishing off their trip with a gloriously sunny trip to Whistler Olympic Park and Lost Lake ski trails.  Host families will be celebrating the end to a successful trip at a final send-off dinner.

Hollyburn athletes are looking forward to their trip to Chelsea, Quebec from February 5-12th.

To help cover our costs, a whole host of fundraising efforts have been undertaken by the participating athletes and their families.  Krispy Kreme donuts and Sun Oka apples were sold, gifts were wrapped at MEC and skis were waxed for club members by our excellent wax technicians.  More fundraisers are being planned! A nordic-themed film night is being planned soon.  Watch for more information.

Track Attack Ski Day with Hollyburn BC Ski Team Athletes

Hollyburn athletes gathered at Whistler Olympic Park for a fun ski session during the winter break. Sponsored by a Kal-Tire SDP grant, this special event provided Track Attack skiers with the opportunity to connect with BC Ski Team athletes from Hollyburn during an on-snow training session. The session featured skill development drills and a series of engaging games. Thankfully, the worst of the wet weather held off, and spirits were high at the hot chocolate and cookie social that followed.

The goal of the ski day was to enhance skiing opportunities for Track Attack skiers while fostering camaraderie between SDP skiers and Race Team athletes. Leading the groups were Aidan Hay, Dustin Hay, Lucas Gitt, and Anna Segelken, with group assistants Noah Wilson, Andy Inkster, and Riley Hobbs.

We are grateful to our parent volunteers—Megan Scheffer, Andrea Hay, Chris Vipler, and Natalie Hull—who provided invaluable assistance. A special thank you to Whistler Olympic Park for hosting this session and for providing the Flex Space for the hot chocolate and Q&A session.

Finally, we would like to express our thanks to CCBC and Kal-Tire for sponsoring this special event.
