Our fantastic team

We do great work thanks to our volunteers and staff, all of whom are utterly fanatical about the sport. Volunteer positions include the Board of Directors, Operational Committees, event coordinators and race officials. Our day-to-day operations are managed by the Chief Executive Officer and staff, headquartered at the Canmore Nordic Centre, which is also the base of operations for the National Ski Team.
