And now for unexpected summer sport, a great way to keep cool and maybe work becoming Canada’s next big skiing sensation. Some young athletes went Whistler this week doing all of that and getting instruction from an Olympic gold medalist. Lisa Johnson reports.


It’ll be a pretty fun summer camp for any twelve year old. But these kids hope to become champion in the Mogul skiing and their coach this week none other than the best in the world.

“I have kids that are really inspired of skiing and I’m trying to pass my passion on.”

We all know where that passion led Alexandre Bilodeau. The Vancouver 2010 Olympics and Canada’s first Olympic gold on home soil. This glacier on blacal mountain was built as summer play ground as the preteen, the future Olympian who was one of the campers themselves.

“It’s fun for me to be back her, another same camp, same place, exactly same place.”

Bilodeau started status season lost on these kids.

“After Olympic so everybody know who he is, it was really cool to get meet him.”

But they had heard Bilodeau a long time before that from the world cup circuit. They’re not casual skiers, in clearly valued, it’s the once a life time experience of learning from the experts.

“They teacher us what they learned from their coach. So it’s like being on the national team.”

One week isn’t much time to learn but they do get a chance to try jumps that will be too dangerous to learn over snow, using this airbag. It’s landing pad so soft in mimic water. Biodeau has tips to improve their technique. But says that’s no the most important part.

“Technical side, it’s good. But I mean they, these kids won’t touch snow until at almost November. So they poise, but anyway they’ll be so stove to getting back to their skis. Just because they been here being skiing with us.”

Bilodeau went on to compete against the skiers who had coach him here and join them on the podium at world cup. He hopes to see some of these campers get there too.
