Everything you need to know and more about the Edmonton Freestyle Ski Club.

Training days and times

EFSC on-snow training runs approximately 15 weeks, from approximately mid-November and mid-March with a 2-week break over Christmas.

Training days vary by program, see the program descriptions for available days and cost.

Athletes in the FREEstylerz, FREEskierz and CANfree programs train evenings 6:00 - 8:30 p.m., and/or Saturdays, 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. (early-season training ends at 1:00 p.m. until there is a sufficient snow base for all features to be available).

FUNdamentalz train evenings 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. and/or Saturday 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. (for the entirety of the season).

Training location and Season Passes

Sunridge Ski Area
10980 17th Street, Sherwood Park

Regular on snow training is hosted at Sunridge Ski Area. Your athlete is required to have a Sunridge season’s pass. This must be purchased separately from registration.

Edmonton Ski Club
9613 96 Avenue, Edmonton

New this season is our EFSC AirBag located at the Edmonton Ski Club. The registration options for FREEstylerz and FREEskierz will include an airbag add-on option. If you select the airbag add on, the season’s pass for Edmonton Ski Club is included in the registration price. This cannot be purchased separately. 

Note, there is no add-on airbag option for FUNdamentalz due to the advanced nature of the feature. Sunday drop in’s are available for all athletes including FUNdamentalz that would like to check it out and try the jump.

Camps and Competitions

Our on-snow season kicks off with a fall camp at Marmot Basin in late November where old friends meet up again, new friends are made, and excitement for the upcoming season really ramps up. In late March or early April, we head out to the mountains again, for Spring Camp, one last on-snow celebration before the dryland season begins.

Throughout the season, your athlete will also have the opportunity to participate in freestyle ski competitions hosted at various ski clubs in Alberta. These are typically hosted at Norquay, Jasper, Red Deer and either Sunridge or Tawatinaw. Competitions are encouraged for all; coaches will work with your athlete throughout the season to determine which competitions are best suited for your athlete. Remember that competition is not always about whether you take home a medal: many of our athletes find the best part of competition weekends is freedom on the hill, the excitement of the atmosphere, and thrill of dropping onto the course!

Volunteer Deposit - automatically added at checkout

Each family is required to pay a volunteer deposit of $300.

Volunteer hours are tracked by the volunteer coordinator.

The deposit will be fully refunded at the end of the ski season for those who have completed the 15 hour quota.

NOTE: In addition to volunteer requirements, CanFree families are also required to participate in fundraising activities to support off season programs and camps for the athletes.

Raffle Ticket Fundraiser - automatically added at checkout

Each family is required to purchase $200 of raffle tickets.

Raffle tickets will be distributed during the first training days at Sunridge Ski Lodge. Each family will receive a pack of 20 paper tickets which can be sold at your leisure for $10/ticket. You keep the proceeds you sell.

The Skier’s Sportshop (8605 109 Street NW, Edmonton) will collect raffle stubs in a drop box at the store. Ensure all stubs are dropped off by March 15, 2026 to be included in the draw late March.
