News - September 2007

Operational Director

Luc Pelletier having returned to Canada after the successful Australia 2007 FIS camp is busy renovating his house on Victoria island and also setting up the core logistics for our Academy programs starting in December at Sun Peaks.
Luc will be in Sun Peaks this week to finalize accommodation selection and meet with Sun Peaks management.

The academy is a new and exciting addition to the alpine programs run by International Racer. The academy will provide an excellent alpine training program free of the difficulties junior racers generally have with a long term program in Europe. Sun Peaks is the training base for the Austrian team while in North America. It is also an excellent base location to chase the many FIS alpine races occurring in Western Canada during the 2007/2008 winter.

Luc will also be taking a FIS group to Europe in late January for a month long race program. Probably based in Pozza di Fassa Italy or Zell am see, Austria. TBA.
