Words From Former Students
Sally was in the Red Freeski Academy her entire highschool career, growing from a young straggler to a team leader by her final year. She started competing in junior big mountain freeski competitions at age 11. In her first competition, the head judge said that she would be “a threat to the future of freeskiing” and she took that to heart, winning 16 competitions over the next 6 years. Her biggest highlights include winning the North American Freeski Championships twice at Snowbird and Crystal Mountain. Sally is now a coach for the Red Mountain Freeski team.
"We have great access to training at RMR and super fast lap times plus great free skiing that made me really enjoy skiing outside of racing. Rossland was a great place to be a kid. It is beautiful, the surrounding mountains provide a lot of opportunities to develop skills in mountain sports, and the people in Rossland are really cool and friendly."
"Seven Summits days are flexible and it is a good place to learn how to be self directed. In leaving Rossland I realized how special a place it is. I really treasure my time growing up there. Rossland is a place where there are incredibly talented Coaches and athletes who helped develop me as an athlete and inspire me towards achieving goals."
" The proximity from the town to mountain sports facilities is incredible. Five minutes from downtown you can be on a great trail for hiking or Mountain Biking.
I made some great friends while studying and training in Rossland that I am still close with today.
The people in Rossland were wonderful. It was a very happy time for me living there."
"the freeski team is definitely one of the main reasons I have become the skier I am today. On the team I was always surrounded by teammates and coaches who shared my passions. I looked up to my coaches when I was young, and I still look up to them today."
"The race team has a great variety of coaches that make training individualized for each athlete. They really focused on every element of being an athlete."
"This form of learning is really special if you are interested in sports, travelling and pursuing what you’re really interested in. The teachers were there to cheer me on and lift me up. This form of education was instrumental in getting me to where I am now."
“I am so thankful for all the opportunities the centre
provided. If you get the chance I would definitely
recommend attending 7S!”
“What I really liked was that the whole atmosphere was so
relaxed and welcoming. There were different study areas
depending on how you worked best, and the teachers
were always ready and willing to help students in any way
they could.”.
Seven Summits struck the perfect balance of maximum snow time and being immersed in an English-speaking community with a quality Academic Curriculum.
“The staff at Seven Summits helped me become a more
independent student, learner, and person. Next year I
am attending Saint Lawrence University in New York and
skiing on the team.”
