Ben Eoin Ski Team

Ben Eoin Ski Team Welcome to the public page for the Ben Eoin Ski Team! Our team of downhill ski racers range in age from 8 to 18 who race throughout Atlantic Canada!

General Info For New Athletes
The youngest athletes on the team are 7 and 8 years old and up to 18 years old. There are currently no formal tryouts but coaches do ask some questions to determine if a child is currently a good fit for the team and in what training group they would belong. It is important that the child has a certain level of independence and that parents and guardians are comfortab

le with team and coach expectations. For example, is the child able to manage their equipment on their own? Does the child require assistance on the chair lift? Is the child able to ski all runs? Does the child ski snow plow style or parallel? Schedule
Training is Saturday and Sunday during ski season. Training is from 8:45 to 2 or 3pm depending on snow conditions and the age of the athlete. Ben Eoin hosts one race a year and travels to races throughout Atlantic Canada. Participation in the Ben Eoin race and one travel race is a good place for youngest athletes to start. Gear
Appropriately sized gear including helmet, goggles, skis, poles and boots are required. Race specific equipment is ideal but may not be required to start, especially for very young athletes. Depending on ability and age additional gear may be required or encouraged. Properly sized and quality equipment is important for athlete safety and skill progression. Costs (subject to change)
Registration Fee $450-$550
Race Card $87.50- $220 depending on age
Timing Chip $100

Race fees and race travel expenses are extra. Ski Passes and membership at Ben Eoin is required and not the responsibility of the team. Volunteer expectations
With such a small club we rely on participation from parent volunteers to make it all work, in particular, for the weekend our club hosts a ski race. Fundraising
There is one main fundraiser a season. Each family is expected to participate. Registration is posted in the fall. There are limited spaces available in December and January. Email communicationsbeneoinskiteam.ca for registration details.

Jerry Giorno Memorial Cup | Day 2

Yesterday’s runs, one start gate at a time.

The hill looks different today. Fog hanging low. Air a little softer. Classic late-winter Cape Breton reminding us who’s really in charge out here.

But the mission stays the same.

That’s Cape Breton racing. Adapt, reset, and push off. Trust the line.

Day 2 is here and the BEST crew is ready. Let’s gooooo!!! ⛷️🔥

Jerry Giorno Memorial Cup | Training Camp Day

Home hill. Early tracks. Full send energy.

Today, Ski Ben Eoin welcomed athletes from Cape Smokey and Martock for a full day of training ahead of race day one tomorrow.

Edges carving. Coaches calling splits. Racers finding speed one run at a time, building confidence before the clock starts.

Cape Breton showing up the way we always do:
focused, welcoming, and ready to race! 💥⛷️

See you in the start gate tomorrow!

🚨 Brunner Day 3 | Slalom Day 🚨

Fast sets. Tight lines. No easy turns.

Today’s slalom course was hard, fast, and demanding from the first gate to the finish. Conditions asked a lot, and our athletes answered every run with effort, focus, and determination.

Big shoutout to Maggie, Reid, Murray, Zoe, Macy, and Violet for putting it all on the hill and skiing with confidence and grit in a challenging race environment.

A huge thank you to Coach Aaron and Coach Shane for the dedication, patience, and countless hours guiding this team every step of the way throughout the Brunner weekend. Strong athletes are built through steady leadership and support.

Three days. Changing conditions. Full effort, every run. We are so proud of you all!

That’s Brunner.
That’s this team.
And that’s a little Cape Breton spine showing up wherever we race.

🚨 Podium Alert | Brunner Day 2 - GS Day 🚨

When the weather rolled in this afternoon, the team leaned in. Snow, freezing rain, and zero quit.

U16 GS
🥉 Zoe Wilson — 3rd place 🎉

Conditions got wild, but every athlete battled through and should be incredibly proud. We know we are!

Tough athletes make tough days look good. 🔥⛷️
