SUN PEAKS ALPINE CLUB - MISSION STATEMENT

TO PROMOTE ALPINE SPORTS  AS A HEALTHY AND ENJOYABLE ACTIVITY FOR PERSONS OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES

Our History:

Ski Racing has been around in Kamloops for almost 50 years.  The club then was called the Kamloops Ski Team and was formed in 1962. With the development of Tod Mountain, The Tod Mountain Ski Team was formed.  From that, the Kamloops Alpine Club developed. When the mountain officially changed their name to Sun Peaks Resort in 1992, the Kamloops Alpine Club decided to change our name to what it is now, The Sun Peaks Alpine Club. Kamloops has a wealth of ski racing knowledge and former members and alumni can be found everywhere. The former club cabin is still around, now called the Sun Peaks Hostel, on your right as you drive by the Burfield Lodge. the Sun Peaks Alpine Club Cabin is our home base and the legacy of former alumni. 

CLUBHOUSE USE

The SPAC clubhouse is located on the west end of the main parking lot, beside Bentos.

The clubhouse serves as a meeting place for all racers and their coaches. There is a kitchen equipped with microwaves for lunch use.

The clubhouse is open on weekends from 8:30am - 4:00pm. Midweek days and times will vary according to when the (FIS) Team is training.

Use of the clubhouse is restricted to Sun Peaks Alpine Club members.

VAN

The ski club owns 2 vans to travel to Sun Peaks, to races, and ski club events. Fuel, maintenance, inspections, and insurance costs add up to be one of the club's biggest expenses. We charge a minimal fee for general travel to Sun Peaks and racers who travel in the van to races (K2 & FIS) are charged according to fuel costs for each trip.

Cost — $10 to Sun Peaks & Return (or $5 one-way)
Tickets - Payment will come from racer account for K and up. Speak to John if you plan to use the van and do not have a racer account.
