BSRC Programs

Updated September 2023.

All racers must be registered with BSRC as well as Alpine Ontario before they can take part in any club run events or training. 

Our training timetable is changing. While the days of the training are remaining the same, due to Batawa Ski Hill requirements we will be running our Saturday and Sunday training sessions in the mornings and afternoons to coincide with the time blocks available to our team. That means that some teams will practice during the 9am to 1pm time block while others may be in the 1pm to 5pm time block. Most training sessions will be 2 hours each.
