A downhill ski race for all ages*, of all abilities and skiing expertise the Schuss Boomer Downhill is one of but a handful of surviving town downhill races left in Canada. Now about to celebrate it's running.

This traditional one day event, combining the fun race and the need for speed. Our event remains both a fun event and a serious event for those who feel the "Need for Speed". Come on out and challenge your spouse, your friends or yourself and have a fun weekend of skiing and general merriment and foolishness at Hudson Bay Mountain Resort on .

There are several different components to this one day event:

  • The fun race consists of teams of three (3) dressed up in costume and individual racers. Each team picks an estimated time and the closest “combined guessed time” for the team wins.
  • The individuals with the need-for-speed compete to be the fastest on the mountain. (both run time and radar speed)

As well as this traditional one day downhill event, additional racing has been added on;

Speed Camp

Optional speed camp the day before the race. Multiple coaches working together to provide safe and effective training. This will be a structured day with working from partial runs to full course. Timed runs in afternoon.
