Welcome!

The VASS Adaptive Alpine Racing Program (BlueStreaks) operates in partnership with the Grouse Mountain Tyee Ski Club.

Who It’s For

The Blue Streaks program is designed for intermediate to advanced skiers and snowboarders with physical or intellectual disabilities who are confident navigating blue terrain and interested in developing their racing skills. Prior racing experience is not necessary, but you should be able to navigate green and blue terrain independently. If this sounds like you, we would love to discuss the possibility of joining the team.

How It Works

Team members will commence dry land training in the fall, followed by on-site training and racing at Grouse Mountain on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings. The team actively participates in local races at Grouse Mountain, as well as other races held in ski areas throughout the province.
Depending on their ability, racers utilize recreational skis and boots or specialized race equipment.

Eligibility – This program is by invitation only.  For more information and for registration please contact the program coordinator at race@vass.ca

Who It’s For

This is a non-race program designed for students at an intermediate skill level in skiing or snowboarding. The primary focus is on gaining mileage and having a great time, with a balance of instruction and terrain-based learning. This is a good stepping stone to the race program, so they can progress their skills before racing.

Participants in this program must ski or snowboard independently. If they’re unable to do so, they may be asked to leave the program, and we may not be able to place them in another program at that time.
