Lynn Bowers - Hiking/Snowshoeing Director

I am the Hiking and Snowshoe Director and have been with the CSC for over 20 years and have been an honourary member for a few years now. I’m known for wanting to combine fine dining with all my outings, whether dressed appropriately for the restaurants or not. Come out and join me on the hills this year!

Craig Tillison - Day Trips Director   

Debra Mandziuk-Burns - Extended Trips Director

Born and raised in Saskatchewan, I was briefly introduced to skiing by a friend in High School, but my love for skiing really developed when I moved to Lethbridge and started skiing at Fernie. I have been a member of the CSC since January 2007. I joined CSC to meet people who shared my passion for downhill skiing. Through day trips and weekend bus trips, I have enjoyed skiing in a friendly atmosphere with other members and developing great friendships. Since planning events is second nature for me, last year I immediately volunteered to plan and act as trip coordinator for the successful Kimberley trip. This year, I volunteered to be the Extended Trips Director in order to plan a variety of extended bus trips, day trips and carpool trips that hopefully will offer something for every discipline offered by the CSC. My plan for this year is to join our Alpine/Cross-Country/Snowshoe and Hiking programs through camaraderie on trips and social activities.

Glenna Paton -Communicatons Director

I’m a downhill skier who has just recently reformed from a few years on the dark side of snowboarding . I learned to ski on the icy slopes of Southern Ontario and honed my skills during a two year stint living in Switzerland. My hubby Andy and I moved to Calgary just over a year ago and we’re both looking forward to our second ski season with CSC. I hope my fast talking and natural exuberance will serve me well in promoting CSC and all of the great activities our club has to offer. You’ll be hearing from me with our CSC UPDATES newsletter! which I create and seeing a lot of me at all of our upcoming social events!

Craig Danco - I.T. Director

I joined CSC in 2008 looking to find other crazy folks in search of the roughest & toughest terrain that the hills have to offer. Skiing since I was six, you’ll see me out in any kind of weather and I try to never miss a weekend trip.  If you don’t find me out on the hills almost every weekend, you’ll find me mountain biking them instead!

Gary Wight- Treasurer

Richard Graham - Vice President

Brian Danco - President

Starting in my early teens in the wilds (?) of the West Kootenays, I’ve been able to enjoy the wonders of our winters by strapping on my boards and heading downhill at great speeds - preferably while remaining upright. Those of you that have skied with me know all too well, this is something I still aspire to! The part about going downhill at great speed is rarely the challenge, however, remaining upright sometimes eludes me. When gravitational pull does occur, I am consistently able to provide great entertainment for others with my artistic interpretation of new and varied ways of falling downhill. And please, don’t just take my word for it, I have this information from many reliable sources that have seen my creative expression cascading down the hill!!
