The one constant thing in the beginning stage of skimeisters was Ken Marchand He was an amateur and he was not paid. He gave freely of his time to develop ski racers and we knew that be a skimeister meant we were more prepared than any club in Alberta to be top and the results showed it. He sought out sponsors for team vans, for skis and funds for competitors who could not afford to race. His legacy lives on in so many. Thank you Ann, Scott, Andrea and Courtney for sharing your husband and Dad with all us us Skimeisters

Saddened to hear of the passing of Ken! He made an impact a great number of young ski racers through the many ski seasons he was involved with the Skimeisters. He will be missed!
