SROAMazing Race
Time Travelers Unite for the SROAMazing Race at Whitewater
NELSON—Dig out the vintage onesies, neon windbreakers and Y2K tracksuits, Whitewater Ski Resort is taking a trip back in time for the annual SROAMazing Race.
Hosted by students in the Ski Resort Operations & Management (SROAM) Program at Selkirk College, the SROAMazing Race will take place on March 21 at Whitewater Ski Resort, bringing together teams of four competitors for an afternoon of fun on the mountain. Whether you’re a family looking for a day filled with adventures or a group of friends ready to compete, the retro-themed race is filled with exciting challenges and awesome prizes.
The event starts with registration at 12 pm at the Whitewater base area, followed by the race start at 1 pm. Teams will compete until 3 pm, finishing the day with prizes and a raffle at 3:30 pm.
“The SROAMazing Race is all about having fun, getting creative and bringing people together,” says Ben Utterly, a first-year student in the SROAM Program. “And let’s be honest, it’s the perfect excuse to bring back some iconic fashion trends.”
Based out of the Tenth Street Campus in Nelson, the two-year SROAM Program covers all aspects of ski resort operations, providing learners a unique blend of management skills and industry knowledge to prepare graduates for lasting leadership roles. The only program of its kind in Canada, since 1980 it has been a vital training ground for the outdoor industry.
For this year’s annual event, teams of four will embark on a journey across Whitewater terrain, solving clues, completing tasks and overcoming challenges. Each checkpoint will test a different set of skills, from teamwork to puzzle-solving. Categories for prizes include first to cross the finish line, best costumes and luckiest teams.
“This is more than just a race, it’s a community gathering where everyone can embrace the fun and celebrate ski culture in a unique way,” says event organizer and SROAM first-year student Carson Field. “We can't wait to see participants dive into the theme, push their limits and carve through the snow.”
Pre-register for the event by visiting the SROAMazing Race Facebook page or emailing rmitz@selkirk.ca. If you pre-register for the race by March 18 the cost is $10 per person and registration on the day of the event is $15 per person. All funds being raised from the event will be donated to the Team Giver Foundation, supporting the youth in the winter sports community.

The project known as 'Revival' is a creative outpouring by folk artist Ru Rose. Revival showcases a deeply sincere full length conceptual debut album of 12 original sacred folk songs recorded Live-Off-The-Forest-Floor in the mountains of the unceded and ancestral territories of the Sinixt and Ktunaxa nations, also known as the Kootenays of British Columbia. Interwoven with the songs of the album is a series of 12 intricate paintings created with hand-made inks, dyes and paints.
With deep gratitude for the support of Creative BC and the Province of British Columbia in making this creation possible, and for the Columbia Basin Trust and the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance for supporting this Album release community event.

Book Launch and (optional) Illustrating Workshop
New Denver artist and Kokanee Glacier hut keeper Petra Hekkenberg presents her new book Further in the Alpine - the second illustrated journal of Kokanee Park, with stories, visuals, a short film, Q&A, book signing and an optional 1hr illustrating workshop at the end. The book presentation is by donation and supports the Slocan Lake Arts Council and the artist. The optional illustrating workshop has a small fee, scroll down to read more!
About the book
Petra shared her deep love for mountains in her first illustrated journal, In the Alpine (2022), recording daily observations while working as a park operator at Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park. No two seasons are the same, of course: Further in the Alpine is a continuation of this backcountry hut-keeper’s impressions as she engages with the park’s wild residents, its visitors, and her own human vulnerability through words and drawings that offer an intimate glimpse of life in the Alpine.
Short Film "In your Mind's Eye"
In 2022 Petra created this 20 minute short film with the subtitle Moods of Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park and it won the first price at the North Valley Mountain Film Festival! Come enjoy this film on a big screen during her book launch. The film was co-created with Whitney Taylor (film) and Sam Harrisson (soundscape & audio)
Illustrating Workshop for all ages (optional)
For those interested, Petra offers a 1 hr illustrating workshop following her book presentation. Suitable for both adults and children. In this workshop, Petra will show you some of the techniques and tricks to making pen illustrations! You could make your own Holiday card for example, or draw a landscape or your favorite pet. All materials are provided. The workshop starts at 3PM and costs $20 for adults and $10 for children up to 16yrs old. Sign up with this registration form. Maximum 12 participants.
Further in the Alpine was self-published, and this event held, with the support of an Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance (CKCA) grant of the West Kootenay Regional Arts Council and with support of the Slocan Lake Arts Council.
