  • Answer:

    Contact your local ski clubs. The Canadian Ski Association is the amateur sponsoring group for competitive racing in Canada. Molsons did co-sponsor a racing circuit for recreational skiers. If you are thinking about national class racing or further out an international class the training and racing takes many years to reach that level. A typical olympic class racer will need about $1 million dollars US to reach the Olympics. This would include at least 10 years of junior racing and junior national team racing if they are that good. If you are serious about racing start with a good team and coach and hope you are good enough to progress to the regional team level.
