As a member of a club recognized by your Provincial Organization, region or territory you become a registered member of Alpine Canada Alpin.
Membership fees help us provide the benefits that aid ACA & its members in realizing our mission statement:
-
To create for Canada, the best alpine ski racing & ski cross athletes in the world. Male and female athletes who will consistently achieve internationally recognized podium results.
-
To build a sustainable, world-class athlete development system, that ensures we offer training and competition opportunities in an environment that reflects the priorities of the Canadian society.
-
As the National Governing Body for ski racing & ski cross in Canada, to fulfill the mandate of leadership for excellence and sport participation through organizing, governing and regulating all levels of participation, from the entry level to the Olympic Team.
-
To give athletes at all levels of competition the opportunity to experience our sports and to develop as good skiers, good citizens and advocates of amateur sport.
Membership fees are levied to ensure these programs and services are offered at a premier level so that our sports continue to grow and prosper. In order to do so, ACA focuses services in 3 main areas: athlete & program centered, race quality centered & community support centered services. Many of these services are mirrored at the PSO/regional level creating a strong members services support system and strengthening the Canadian ski racing & ski cross infrastructure.

Membership Renewal & Reporting for the PSO
Membership registration forms, FIS athlete declarations, ACA Medical Evaluations and supporting paperwork are kept on file at the PSO offices in each region.
Each fall, following the East & West TD updates, ACA points registration system will be updated and prepared for the new season. Once your members services representatives receive the updated registration software all levels of membership are uploaded onto ACA Points database for the new season.
Athletes registered with your PSO attending school in the US or outside your region at an academy, university or college must be tracked and reported back to Manager, National Service – Jenn Duggan so that race entries and other ACA information can be clearly communicated to these members.
Membership reporting must be split by gender and category. A collaboration of ACA points database and PSO reporting will be used to apply membership billing to each region.
PSO’s will be billed 60% of membership fees on January 31st of each season. January billing will be based on membership numbers from the previous season totals. Remaining balances after reconciliation will be due on April 15th each season.
