Hello Freestyle Parents and Athletes,

It is a bit of an understatement to just say the last couple of weeks has been not only a disappointment from a club perspective but a challenging and unique time in world history.  The current pandemic and the social, economic symptoms that come with it are presenting some  unique situations for everyone. 

The Silver Star Freestyle Club is no different.  The decisions made to cancel all remaining Freestyle Canada sanctioned events plus the one week closure of Silver Star Mountain Resort and now season ending closures of other resorts near by, are by all means very appropriate decisions.  The recommendations of Health Canada and Provincial Health Authorities to socially distance ourselves, practice good hygiene, and stay close to home are prudent and necessary.

Given these recommendations and the current status of mountain operations it is also necessary for the SSFC to cancel all remaining programming for the winter season effective immediately.  Your board has met frequently over the past week and had suspended final judgement on programming for the season until now, hoping that we could put something together that was safe, responsible, and appropriate.  At this point full-filling that mandate is not possible and cancelling the remainder of the season is the right thing to do.

Please note that your board will continue to meet and will communicate further regarding this decision including if refunds, credits, or make-up programming are necessary.  If you have any questions please feel free to email me at president@ssfreestyle.com.  

By no means should the end to this season be a reflection on the amazing accomplishments our club has achieved this year.  From record breaking membership numbers, resurgence of our Fundamentalz numbers, a massive G-Team, the clubs largest snowboard contingent ever, to an outstanding number of provincial and national competition invites.  This season was loaded with great things and has set the tone for a wicked off-season and Winter 2020-2021.  

Take care,

Ryan Johnson, President

Silver Star Freestyle had amazing event at neighboring Sun Peaks last weekend.  Both Timber Tour and Super Youth athletes put it all on the line and competed in Slopestyle, Moguls and Big Air.  Sun Peaks rose to the occasion and took on the Timber Tour late in the game.  SS Freestyle is so lucky to have an event like this so close to home.  Congratulation to all the athletes that attended from SS Freestyle.

This freestyle ski event was MASSIVE milestone for athletes like Natasha Vienneau, Nathan Glowa, Kael Hunter, Kael Keens, Tye Johannson, Maddex Macaulay and Leo Fogel who all competed in their first AWAY competition.  As one parent put it "set aside the results because they don't matter when your child is having so much fun, building confidence and being surrounded by other kids who support them. Its been an incredible first event and now my child is hooked! Not to mention the parents have been fun too. "

Freestyle Parents, 

We are two and a half weeks away from the raffle draw and still have approximately 50 full booklets of tickets to sell.  That is worth $2500 in revenue for the Freestyle Club.  The tickets sell themselves because the prizes are so great and the cost of each ticket a great deal.  We just need as many families as possible to participate by selling 1-2 booklets of tickets. Ticket booklets can be picked up in the brown bag room at Silver Star this Saturday and Sunday morning as well as money and ticket stubs can be dropped off.  If you are unable to make it up the hill to pick up tickets, but want booklets, please email me at lfriesen@sd22.bc.ca to arrange a time to pick up tickets this Thursday evening.  

Cheers, 

Luke Friesen

To all SS Freestyle members,

2020 Freestyle Raffle is set to begin.  This is an important fundraiser as it has the potential to raise $10 000 for the club if every ticket is sold.  Last year we raised over $8000, but we believe we can raise the $10 000 as the prizes are amazing and the price of each ticket is only $5!  We are very thankful to the following club sponsors for the prizes they have provided. 

1st PRIZE

Silver Star Mountain Family Ski Pass Courtesy of Silver Star Mountain Resort, Vernon, BC skisilverstar.com Approx. Retail Value: $2100

2nd PRIZE

$1000 Gift Card from Sun Country Cycle Courtesy of Sun Country Cycle, Vernon, BC suncountrycycle.com Retail Value: $1000

3rd PRIZE

4th PRIZE

2 Vancouver Canucks Tickets and Hotel Accommodation for March 27 game (Vancouver vs. Calgary) Courtesy of Buy Low Foods Approx. Retail Value: $1000

With over 200 registered freestyle skiers in the club we do not even need every skier to sell 1 booklet of 10 tickets. We are asking that every family sells at least one booklet, but know that many families are going to want several booklets to sell since the prizes are so great! 

Raffle Booklet Pick-Up and Return:

Please collect your raffle ticket booklets in the brown bag room at Silver Star starting Saturday January 18 and Sunday January 19 from 8:00-9:00am. 

In order to return a raffle booklet, ALL TICKETS IN THE BOOKLET MUST BE SOLD.  Returns, with money will be collected each Saturday and Sunday from 8:00-9:00am in the brown bag room at Silver Star starting Saturday January 25 and 26 with the last possible date to hand in tickets and money on Sunday Feb 16.
