Legends Club U12 Skils Camp
The 2013/14 Legends Club program wrapped up this weekend with the U12 Skills Camp on the Big Chair at Mt. Norquay. Led by Alberta Alpine staff Brett Zagozewski and Mike Necesanek, the camp focused on free skiing skills and athleticism in challenging terrain environments. There were also freestyle coaches on hand to help with specific skills relating to moguls and jumps.
One of the highlights of the camp was a visit from 2009 World DH Champion, John Kucera, who shared his passion and drive for the sport with the up and coming racers.
Thanks to our 20 Legends Club members from across the country that have generously contributed to the success of this year's six projects.
