Our Beginnings

The Alta Lake Sports Club was founded in 1975 to “organize and encourage participation in outdoor sports at all levels of ability in the Whistler area and beyond,” (“Whistler News” Winter 1979/1980) with a focus on cross-country skiing. In their first year, the ALSC organized three races in the valley, attracting up to 125 competitors from clubs within the valley and Vancouver. Source: Whistler Museum
