Veterans & First Responders


As the leaders in adaptive snowsports, part of our support for ill or injured veterans and first responders includes considering the sport pathway each member chooses to take. A pathway can be either as a participant, instructor or as a volunteer. Adaptive Snowsports promotes physical and mental recovery following service-related illness or injury.

Ill or injured veterans, first responders and their families benefit when people recognize, appreciate, and cultivate a sense of belonging in CADS network. Members also experience improved physical, psychological and social outcomes when they and their families are included in events/training and lessons. While our programs may differ from types and sizes, across Canada, each CADS Club is important for creating and inclusive, safe, and fun environments promoting recovery.

Athlètes


The Canadian athlete development pathway is defined into three main phases, beginning with phase one, development of athleticism for ski racing, which spans from the Gliding Start through the Learn to Train stage and includes the initial stages of the Train to Train stage.
Phase two, the training to the top, spans from the last years of the Train to Train stage through the Train to Race stage of development. Athletes in the last year of the Train to Race stage will actively seek high-performance racing specific training programs both on and off the snow. Dedication to a full-time schedule is necessary to successfully progress ski racers into phase two of the Train to Race stage where they begin to train and compete with the intent to learn how to win higher level races which enable them to qualify for the national team.
When athletes exit phase two and enter phase three, racing for the podium, they are in the Race to Win stage representing Canada as an Alpine Canada national team member. They are within two to three years of winning at the elite levels of racing, FIS World Cup, FIS World Championships and Olympic Winter Games.

Are you interested in furthering your training and become an Alpine Canada Coach?

The coaching pathway is designed to guide your training and skill development as a coach, providing you with the tools required to support athletes at successively higher levels of performance.
New coaches begin their journey by completing the Entry Level Licensing and Certification requirements. Once those credentials are achieved, they can begin to work with young ski racers at their local club in the gliding start and skier essentials stage of LTAD.
