President's Message
We need all of our Club parents (GTeam, Freestylerz, Jumps & Bumps, Competition Teams) to help organize and volunteer at the Silver Star Timber Tour that our Club is hosting March 23-26. Read on for details.
I can't wait to share with you the many successes our kids have had at the competitions so far this winter - Silver Star Freestyle is cleaning up!
After this last dump of snow we are refreshed and ready to hit the slopes again! Enjoy...

Future is bright for the Silver Star Freestyle Ski & Snowboard Club Athletes
Canada’s largest Freestyle Club is having one of its most successful years ever. Not only is there a huge group of athletes travelling to competitions, but they are being recognized for their technique, style, and tricks….bringing home the neck candy everywhere they go!
This Club is comprised of three groups of competitors:
· Freestyle Skiers competing provincially with BC Freestyle in Moguls, Slopestyle & Big Air
· Big Mountain Skiers competing with the International Freeskiers & Snowboarders Association in Big Mountain Regional & National Competitions
· Snowboarders competing provincially through BC Snowboard
See all results below - by dicipline
Still to come, our Big Mountain Team is heading to Lake Louise(National) & Revelstoke (Regional), Snowboard Competition Team will be at Big White (Regional). Freestyle Competitors will be heading to Big White (Regional).
Snowboarding
Look out BC here comes the Silver Star Competitive Snowboard Team led by Crispin Liscomb a Snowboard Olympian and World Champion. At the BCSA Seymour Provincials, Hunter McMorran came 2nd in the U19 and 3rd overall. His teammate Reese Tarassoff came 2nd in the Womens U15 – twice! With each of these successes there is more and more interest in this competitive team who just keep winning!
You can see our Club Riders snowboard program in action when they compete at Silver Star March 18 in our Club Snowboard Competition.
Big Mountain Skiing
The Big Mountain competition team chose 3 National Events and 2 Regional Events to attend this year.
Jacob Tooke (M 15-18) came in 11th place at the Red Mountain Canadian Open Freeride Championships.
At the Jeep Junior Freeski Nationals in Kicking Horse the Big Mountain Team showed great improvement amongst the large turnout of competitors from around North America. In the M12-14 category Owen Tooke was 12th and Sam Rampado was 15th. The older category M15-18 found Jacob Tooke in 8th, Liam Bush 14th and Declan Stevenson 19th. This mostly male team couldn’t believe their female member Jessica Brown (F15-18) who “sent it as large as anyone on the course” and gave it her all. She unfortunately crashed before finishing the course and didn’t get the podium finish she was looking for, but in their eyes she is a legend!
Again this year the most popular event amongst Freestyle and Big Mountain Club Members was the Smith Optics Whitewater Junior Freeski Open in Nelson BC. It is a great event to introduce kids to the Freeski side of skiing and we are pretty sure the parents have a lot of fun there too.
