What is the Travel Bursary?
We launched our Athlete Support Program Travel Bursaries this year to recognize outstanding athletes across Canada and the US. For the inaugural bursary, we selected 16 athletes from four snowsport disciplines—Alpine, Freestyle, Snowboard, and Cross-country—who demonstrated exceptional achievements this season and a strong commitment to sport.
Recipients included athletes who achieved World Cup starts, Varsity skiers, members of World Junior and U23 teams, and even one athlete from the Canadian Olympic team! Congratulations!
These bursaries were made possible by the generous support of our club partners and affiliates. Eighteen clubs participated in our Group Order Program and ten in our Affiliate Program. Both programs provide clubs with discounts on wax and equipment for their members. Five percent of sales from these programs was donated to fund the Travel Bursaries.
Why have we initiated these travel bursaries?
- Sustained engagement in sport
- Community-supported athletes
-

We will profile all sixteen athletes in individual posts on Instagram from April 4 to 20. Follow us!
