Community on the Slopes: The Heart of Snow Valley’s Masters Racing Program
At Snow Valley Ski Club in Edmonton, skiing is more than just a winter activity—it’s about community.
For the past 13 years, the Masters Racing Program has brought together a range of adult skiers–anywhere from their early twenties to well into their seventies–and has created a unique space for both skill improvement and social connections.

This year, ahead of International Women’s Day, I had the privilege of sitting with Lisa Olsen – Snow School Manager and Shauna Byar – Snow School Supervisor. Between the 2 of them, they have 79 years of industry experience; Lisa with 29 and Shauna with 50.
Join me, Alex, in conversation with Lisa and Shauna to learn more about these 2 women, their journeys through the industry, and their words of advice for other women on the slopes!

I enter the main floor of the lodge to find my skiing partners for the afternoon. They have 101 years of age between the two of them—Muriel Watterworth with 99, and Huxley Derksen with 2.
Now, many of you have heard of Muriel, the 98 (now 99) year-old skier who inspired us all to hit the slopes and stay active as we age. Well this year, her close friend Joy set up some ski dates between Muriel and Huxley, who at age 2 is possibly the youngest skier on these slopes.

Purchasing Snow Valley products from online marketplaces like WeChat, Kijiji and Facebook Marketplace may seem attractive but this is “too good to be true” and most likely fraudulent. You will not be able to ski/ride with a fraudulent ticket.
You should ONLY purchase lift tickets, rentals and lessons directly from Snow Valley’s website or in person at Snow Valley.
PLEASE protect yourself from fraud and ensure you have a valid, usable product by following this above guideline.
For further questions, please contact our Guest Services team at 780-434-3991.
Snow Valley has become the lay down area for Stage 2 of the Terwillegar Drive Expansion project. This means we no longer have access to our usual overflow lot and means that parking is even more limited than usual this season (and likely for the next several seasons as well).
Please consider carpooling, ridesharing, or being dropped off. If parking, make sure to park close to your neighbours.

Meet Muriel Watterworth – the Woman Still Skiing Snow Valley Weekly At 98
A follow-up article to this one has been written, and can be read in full here.
As the sun rises over the crest of the Snow Valley slopes I meet Muriel Watterworth–my ski partner for the morning–in the Lodge.
“Why don’t we go for a couple of laps of the hill?” I ask. “We can have a chat about skiing and what it is like skiing at 98.”
“Well it’s about the same as skiing at 97”, Muriel says with a chuckle.
I laugh too, and I know already that this is going to be a great time.
