He sat on the committee that arranged government funding from the Ontario Government for these courses. He also served as the first Director for these courses for a number of years. Bud initiated the Molson Molstar Racing Program in Ontario with the assistance of Molson Breweries. This was the first citizen non-competitive racing in the province. Bud is also the Founder of Molson Park in Barrie, Ontario, a haven for cross-country ski enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a member of the CSIA Steering and Executive Committees, Bud set up the Ontario Ski Council and Sport Ontario (for Ontario).

Recognizing some talent in Peter, he hired him.<br>*After some great training with Lorne, Peter took his Level 2 for the second time in 1968, this time at Mont Tremblant. He won that course, getting the top marks out of all candidates.<br>*The following year, 1969, Peter passed his Level 3 at Hidden Valley in Huntsville, Ontario, again taking top marks and winning the course. At that time, course winners were declared and presented with a trophy and other prizes.<br>*Peter passed his Level 4 in 1972 at Mont Tremblant, on the second try, having failed his first attempt in 1971. In the fall of 1972, he became Ski School Director at Chicopee Ski Club in Kitchener, Ontario, a position he held there until 2003.<br>*Soon after that, Peter received training from the CSIA to work on courses.

He learned to ski by reading books as the CSIA wasn\u2019t here yet. In 1951, Doug became President of the Varsity Ski Club at the University of Manitoba. In the 1960s, Doug was introduced to the CSIA when the Winnipeg Ski Club where he became an instructor and later on took the CSIA Level 2, was referred to as the ASI. Named Ski School Director at the Winnipeg Ski Club in the 1970s, Doug\u2019s relationship with the CSIA strengthened as he was appointed Chairman of various Manitoba sub-committees and became the voice of the National Board of Directors\u2019 Regional Committees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His involvement as a National Board member from 1976 to 1982 was instrumental as Doug was named Chairman of the Finance Committee in 1981-1982. Doug was also active in the restructuring of Regions with the CSIA, and ultimately, he was responsible for shaping the Central Region (SK, MB and NWO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doug\u2019s involvement in the ski industry was diversified as Jerry Johnston (CADS) was the person who introduced him to teaching the disabled to ski. Working with the disabled became a very important part of Doug\u2019s life. From 1974 to 2004, Doug was a member of CADS and during his long tenure, he was President of CADS. He assisted in creating the By-Laws, Constitution and Policies of the Canadian Paralympic Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1984, Doug was appointed \u201cChef de Mission\u201d for the Canadian Team at the Winter Olympic Games for the disabled in Innsbruck, Austria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doug retired in 2003 at the young age of 80.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-block-umbrellas-accordion-item\">\n\t<h3 class=\"wp-block-umbrellas-accordion-item__heading\">\n\t\t<button class=\"wp-block-umbrellas-accordion-item__header\" type=\"button\"\n\t\t        aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"wp-block-umbrellas-accordion-item__title\">Joe Couillard 2004<\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"wp-block-umbrellas-accordion-item__icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n\t\t<\/button>\n\t<\/h3>\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-umbrellas-accordion-item__panel\"\n\t     aria-hidden=\"true\" hidden>\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-umbrellas-accordion-item__panel-inner\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"137\" height=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowpro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/jcouillard.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4447\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To summarize, Joe\u2019s business successes have been many and quite diverse, namely in ski, golf, oil, land, and as a rancher!

Doug and his wife Debbie moved to the Kitchener area and both worked at the Chicopee Ski Club full-time for Peter Schwirtlich. From 1972 to 1978, Doug taught full-time and obtained his CSI (Level 3) and his CSCF Level 2. From 1974 to 1978, he was the Assistant Director of Chicopee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1979, Doug became Director of Skiing at Glen Eden Ski Area in Milton, Ontario. At that time, Glen Eden was a small school with a few hundred lessons given per season. Under Doug\u2019s direction and with a very dedicated staff, the lesson program grew over the next twenty-four seasons. In 2003, when Doug retired from the Glen Eden Ski Area, his school was teaching about 65,000 lessons per season with a professional staff of 250 ski and snowboard instructors.<br>Doug and Debbie with their two sons, Mark and Andrew, and their concession with Conservation Halton developed a staff of truly dedicated skiers and boarders that have moved on and are now being recognized for their involvement in the organization. These include nine Level 4s, Demo Team Members, Snow School Directors and many full-timers in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with running a successful business, Doug held important roles with the CSIA. From 1981 to 1987, he was a member of the National Board spending the last four of those years as Vice-President. In 1987, Doug attended Interski in Banff, Alberta as an Official Delegate of the CSIA.<br>In 1990, Doug was approached to see if he would return to the National Board, which he did, and held a position as President from 1991 to 1995. During this time, Doug and the CSIA Board of Directors brought snowboarding under the CSIA umbrella which was later to be called CASI. In 1995, Doug attended Interski, once again, in Japan, as President, and part of the official delegation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During these periods on the National Board, Doug was very highly regarded for his ability, fairness and diplomacy in dealing with important issues. Doug was also proud of his relationship with the CSIA field staff and was always sensitive to their needs and those of the membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of Doug\u2019s achievements include his induction into the Ontario Hall of Fame in 1997.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doug was inducted into the CSIA National Hall of Fame in the fall of 2001. Doug continues in 2006 to work for the CSIA, as a Course Conductor, and as the Director of Development back where he started at Chicopee in Kitchener, Ontario.

Born in Shawinigan Falls, Quebec on April 3, 1942, Linda Crutchfield\u2019s impressive, multitasked career spans over 40 years, and might we add, several continents. Her involvement and dedication to the ski industry is considerable and so is her devotion as an overall athlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is with great pride that we share with you some of Linda\u2019s achievements over the past 10 decades. Linda\u2019s career as an athlete spanned over 17 years in three separate sports:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canadian National Teams:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From 1959 to 1965: Alpine Skiing in three events \u2013 Downhill, GS and SL.<br>From 1965 to 1975: Water Skiing also in three events \u2013 Jumping, SL and Figures.<br>From 1967 to 1969: Luge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On four occasions, twice as an athlete, Linda participated in different disciplines at the Olympic Games:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1960: Alternate \u2013 Alpine Ski Olympic Team, Squaw Valley, California, USA(Unfortunately, \u201cAlternates\u201d were unable to attend the Games).<br>1964: Alpine Skiing \u2013 Innsbruck, Austria in the SL, Downhill and GS.<br>1968: Luge \u2013 Grenoble, France.

He grew up in the Austrian Alps and lived to ski and ski race. Mike came to Canada in 1959, where he instructed at Mont-Tremblant, Quebec in 1960-1961 and Sugar Bowl, California from 1962 to 1965.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mike subsequently became Ski School Director and Ski Shop Owner in Lake Louise for eight years that is from 1965 to 1972. He also was given the contract to manage the Ski School at Canyon in Red Deer, Alberta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mike obtained his CSIA ASI Certification (equivalent to our Level 2) at Gray Rocks, Quebec in 1960 and proceeded to pass his CSI Certification (Level 3) in 1964 at Sunshine. Five years later, in 1969, Mike successfully completed the Level 4 Senior Instructor\u2019s Course at Lake Louise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following year, in 1967, Mike married Bonnie and together they had a daughter Michele who has grown up and is now a key person in the family business, better known as Mike Wiegele Helicopter Skiing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His achievements didn\u2019t end here. In the early 1970s, Mike also founded the Banff Quikies Ski Club for young children, and with his wife Bonnie and other friends, they taught kids to ski and have fun. This later evolved into the Banff Alpine Racers, which continues to operate. They saw a real need in the Banff community and made it happen. During this period, Mike began exploring and studying various mountain areas for snow patterns and skiing potential. As we know, he found his haven in the Blue River, British Columbia region when Mike Wiegele Helicopter Skiing was founded in 1970.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From small beginnings, which actually started with no guests, Mike Wiegele Helicopter Skiing has developed into a full service 5-star year-round resort, which is one of the largest heli-skiing and year-round areas in the world. His clientele comes from all over the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mike also founded the Canadian Ski Guide Association (CSGA) in 1990, which has opened the door for Canadians to train to become ski guides and which introduced a new meaningful way to live and work in the mountains. He then initiated avalanche research in conjunction with the University of Calgary to gain additional knowledge and expertise in this field. Today, all of the heli-skiing operators participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two books have been published on Mike and his heli-skiing operation. Mike is now writing a technical book on ski and mountain guiding. In addition, in 1978, Mike created the now famous Powder 8 World Championships, which he hosts each year at his Blue River Resort. He has hosted the Canadian Ski Team for summer speed training at Blue River for several years, at his own expense. Mike has continually encouraged Canadian CSIA members to join his world as well as the CSIA to broaden its brush in its certification criteria to include first aid, mountain skills and awareness to truly be a full certification in every sense of the word as required by mountain conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the fall of 2001, Mike invited key people from the CSIA to Blue River to develop the CSIA\u2019s new Mountain Skills &amp; Awareness Program to help the CSIA meet the new criteria for international certification and open doors for our members to pursue the heli-skiing way of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mike Wiegele\u2019s Awards and Merits Include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 The Bravery Award from the Governor General of Canada.<br>\u2022 The Marshall Award for Excellence from the Canada West Ski Areas Association for his outstanding contribution to the betterment of the ski industry.<br>\u2022 Mike was inducted into the Canadian Honour Roll of Canadian Skiing for his outstanding input in the development of skiing in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mike has an enthusiasm and passion for skiing that is unsurpassed and when he feels there is a need to improve or be innovative, he takes on the task whole heartedly. He still has plans to expand and develop his resort to offer more variety and facilities for people to enjoy, including surface lifts to expand the heli-skiing operation. He was asked a few years ago if he thought he still had time to fulfill all his development plans and his reply was simple and enthusiastic\u2026 \u201cNo problem\u2026 I just took out another 150-year lease on life\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CSIA wishes to recognize Mike for his tremendous contribution to the ski world and especially for his ongoing encouragement, help and guidance to the CSIA in its growth as well.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-umbrellas-accordion-group\" data-allow-multiple=\"false\" data-heading-level=\"3\"><div class=\"wp-block-umbrellas-accordion-item\">\n\t<h3 class=\"wp-block-umbrellas-accordion-item__heading\">\n\t\t<button class=\"wp-block-umbrellas-accordion-item__header\" type=\"button\"\n\t\t        aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"wp-block-umbrellas-accordion-item__title\">Rod Roy Ski School 2006<\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"wp-block-umbrellas-accordion-item__icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n\t\t<\/button>\n\t<\/h3>\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-umbrellas-accordion-item__panel\"\n\t     aria-hidden=\"true\" hidden>\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-umbrellas-accordion-item__panel-inner\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Martin Jean proudly presented a plaque Mr. Doug Roy, Snow School Director for their 45 years of successful business. History<br>\u2022 In the early 1960\u2019s the era of the Montreal Ski Train was coming to an end. The autoroute did not exist resulting in slow travel even to the closest resorts in the Lower Laurentians. Skiing was available mainly to families with ski chalets.<br>\u2022 Snowy Eagle Ski School was founded in December 1962 by Rod Roy and became one of the first traveling ski schools in Quebec. Rod was a Physical Education graduate from McGill University and was a high school teacher in St-Laurent for 33 years.<br>\u2022 Skiing immediately became more accessible to children from non-skiing families.<br>\u2022 The name was changed to Rod Roy Ski Schools in 1969.<br>\u2022 Virtually every ski hill in the Laurentians has been part of the Rod Roy programs including long forgotten resorts like Carling Lake, Mont Fug\u00e8re, Mont Castor, Sun Valley and Yvon Coutu.<br>\u2022 The first season there were only 32 members &amp; 4 instructors using one school bus. Today there are 1200 members &amp; 85 instructors using 25 deluxe coach buses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Philosophy &amp; Objectives<br>\u2022 Safety. Parents are entrusting Ski Rod Roy with their child from the moment they get on the bus in the morning until their return in the evening.<br>\u2022 Fun. Skiing and snowboarding lessons are not a sixth day of school. The emphasis is on having fun on the slopes.<br>\u2022 Learning. Using the teaching techniques of the CSIA and CASI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three programs were developed to meet the needs of the skiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Ages 6-10 in full-supervision programs with lessons all day at smaller resorts.<br>\u2022 Ages 10-13 with half-day lessons and some free-ski time at mid-sized resorts.<br>\u2022 Ages 13+ with the option of half-day lessons or free-ski time all day visiting the larger resorts in Quebec and Vermont.<br>\u2022 New programs evolved as the industry changed including snowboarding programs for teens, adult programs, u-drive family programs and in recent years a parks &amp; pipe course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rod\u2019s passion for skiing continues to this day. He averages 60 ski days a year, and remains involved with the ski school as on-hill ambassador reminding everyone that there is no such thing as a bad ski day.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-global-padding is-layout-constrained
