BCAS All Mountain Camps 2025
We are excited to announce that BCAS will be running two All Mountain Camps again this season in partnership with Alpine Canada, Rocky Mountain Adaptive and most likely Canada Snowboard. Please share the info with anyone interested in developing their race skills in a fun environment with great coaches. The camps are suitable for anyone who is an independent (sit/stand-up) skier or snowboarder who confidently can ski or ride a blue run, linking turns with control as well as loading lifts independently.

Our organisation is 100% volunteer run and the program has grown in recent years to a strong and dedicated team of over 100 volunteers/instructors enthusiastically supported by the Mt. Washington operations staff.
MWAR provides space in the main lodge for our organization to call home as well as accommodating our Nordic branch at the Raven lodge. Along with providing subsidized student lift tickets and equipment rental for VISAS participants, they also give staff passes to VISAS instructors that qualify (through service and dedication).
