XC Bragg Creek Ski and Bike Society will host the 8th annual Alberta Youth Cross Country Ski Championships (AYC) from March 1 to 3, 2019 on the trails in West Bragg Creek. This provincial level event brings close to 150 young athletes from across Alberta and as far away as the Northwest Territories for two days of ski racing and fun.

AYC is aimed at skiers between 10 and 13 years of age and includes three races: classic, freestyle (skate) and a combined relay. This event is the club championship for this age group in Alberta and also the biggest event of its kind in the province for skiers this age.

AYC athletes will stay at Easter Seals Camp Horizon on Friday and Saturday nights and travel to the race site in West Bragg Creek on Saturday and Sunday.

An event of this size would not be possible without the help of many people, including volunteers and donors. If you would like to receive more information or get involved in AYC 2019, please contact Ann Sullivan at anns@safari.ca or visit our volunteer sign-up page at https://volunteersignup.org/EKL83.
