Club de ski Stoneham

What Club de ski Stoneham does

Club de ski Stoneham is a private non-profit competitive alpine ski club based in Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury, Quebec, Canada. Operating from the Stoneham ski resort under a Board of Directors and a network of volunteer parents, the club delivers a structured competitive ski development pathway for youth athletes across nine categories — U6, U8, U10, U12, U14, U16, U18-U21, FIS 2026, and the full club (Club entier). Programming is aligned with the Long-Term Athlete Development (DLTA) framework of Ski Québec Alpin and Alpine Canada Alpin, encompassing pre-season conditioning at Université Laval, weekly on-snow training, regional races through the Skibec circuit, intra-club competitions, mini-champion events, and a Christmas camp. Athletes are required to wear official apparel with sponsor crests and hold valid Ski Québec Alpin (SQA) membership prior to snow training.

The club's digital backbone is the Club Studio platform (a SaaS product from JAAM Numérique inc.), which powers athlete registration, member portals, document management, the weekly newsletter, calendar coordination, the official boutique for team uniform orders, and the Bazar second-hand equipment marketplace. A complementary Club Studio mobile app is published on the Apple App Store and Google Play. The club advertises seasonal programs — a children's Ski Boot Camp ($305) and an adult physical preparation activity ($350) — at Université Laval facilities from September through November, alongside weekly newsletters, Facebook updates, and an annual March open-house event used to recruit children under 14.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model combining per-athlete registration fees (varying by category), mandatory uniform purchases (approximately $500 per athlete via Avalanche Skiwear), a $200 Ski Québec Alpin ticket purchase per family (resold at $5 each), pre-season program fees, and a diversified sponsorship base of 22+ partners spanning financial institutions (Desjardins, BMO Private Wealth), real estate (Groupe Investors, RE/MAX), hospitality (Fairmont Frontenac), automotive (Mauricie VW), construction (Béton Provincial, Construction ABG), and local F&B and retail businesses. The club is governed by an elected board led by President Donald Emond and operates with a small administrative and coaching staff of roughly six people, supplemented by mandatory parental volunteer contributions (CPDA) of 8 days per season.
