BRIMACOMBE RACING ASSOCIATION

What BRIMACOMBE RACING ASSOCIATION does

Brimacombe Racing Association is a non-profit ski race club based in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, that delivers youth alpine ski racing programs for children and young adults aged 7-20. The club organizes six age-based cohorts (U8, U10, U12, U14, U16, U19/21) and structures its curriculum around the Alpine Canada Snow Stars 7-step development framework, with certified CSCF coaches delivering dryland training, a Christmas camp, weekly on-snow sessions, race days, and a year-end banquet. Programs are operated out of the Brimacombe ski facility (formerly the Oshawa Ski Club) in Oshawa, with away races through Alpine Ontario's Southern Ontario Division and a pre-season training camp at Mont Tremblant, Quebec.

The business model is a seasonal subscription structure: families pay an annual Brimacombe Membership, an Alpine Ontario registration fee, and a Brimacombe Racing Program Fee ($1,775 Full Day or $1,350 Half Day for the 2026-2027 season). Supplemental revenue streams include optional away race fees for U14+ racers, the Mont Tremblant pre-season camp, the March Break Intro to Racing Program, and a small merchandise line via shop.brimacomberacing.ca. Registration runs through Teamsnap, and the club is volunteer-run, which the organization cites as the primary mechanism for keeping fees low. Sponsorship is nascent, with KleruVision listed as a sponsor. No AI/ML capabilities, mobile applications, or APIs are disclosed.

Commercially, Brimacombe Racing Association sits at the intersection of community youth sports and the regulated Alpine Ontario / Alpine Canada race ecosystem. The club has operated continuously for over 40 years under a volunteer board (President Alison Lyver, Treasurer Peter O'Grady, Registrar Geoff Johnstone) and a small coaching leadership team (Head Coach Todd Williamson, Asst. Head Coach Norm Greer). Marketing is community-driven through word-of-mouth, Facebook, Instagram, and the brimacomberacing.ca website. While the club uses the Brimacombe facility, it is not formally affiliated with the Brimacombe ski club itself, and all racers must hold a Brimacombe Membership to participate.
