2018 Sport Chek Canadian National Technical Championships and National Ski Cross Championships

March 21 to 25 7:00 am to 8:00 pm

The Red Mountain Racers and RED Mountain Resort have been selected to host both the 2018 Sport Chek Canadian National Technical Championships and the 2018 Canadian National Ski Cross Championships. As part of the events we will be celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the first World Cup Race ever held in North America (held in Rossland in 1968 and attended by 7000 people). That first North American World Cup was won by our own Nancy Greene and France’s Jean Claude Killy.  In addition, this year marks the 120th Anniversary of the first Canadian National Championships which were also held here in Rossland back in 1898. Please join us to celebrate skiing past and present and to cheer on the incredible athletes of 2018. The opening ceremonies will occur on March 22nd on Washington Street from 4 - 8 pm and will include a downtown street festival with live music, entertainers, food vendors, a parade and late night shopping and events. 

The 2018 Sport Chek National Championships will take place at RED Mountain Resort with slalom, giant slalom and ski cross races all running simultaneously March 21st through 25th. The top athletes in the country, including our Olympians who have just returned from South Korea, will be battling it out for the title of 2018 Canadian National Technical Champion and 2018 Canadian National Ski Cross Champion.   

 

The events include training March 17-20 and racing March 21-25.  Over 260 athletes are expected to attend and we have have already received entries from Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Britain, Sweden, Germany, Italy, Japan, Macedonia and Mexico.
