General Information
Who we are
The Regina Alpine Race Team/Snow Stars has provided hundreds of youth with the opportunity to participate in the sport of downhill skiing both at a novice introductory level and as competitive racers. The club is a family-oriented club providing training targeted at alpine skiers with all levels of experience for children from ages 5 to 18.
We are affiliated with the Regina Ski Club as a non-profit organization operated through a Board of Directors with an Executive elected from within its members. There is a relationship through the Regina Ski Club through Alpine Saskatchewan to Alpine Canada. The club believes in a strong involvement and participation by its family members to ensure that a high calibre educational and development program is available to participating youth.
Experienced instructors and coaches certified by the Canadian Ski Coaches’ Federation (CSCF) and Canadian Ski Instructors’ Alliance(CSIA) provide programming and skills development for the novice and racers.
Where we train and compete
Our main hill for operations is Mission Ridge located at Fort Qu’Appelle. 3 provincial festivals (under age 10) and 3 Sask Cup slalom races (age 10 and over) are scheduled each season at either Mission Ridge, Wapiti, Table Mountain or Timber Ridge. Multiple optional team events are available out of province for those interested.
