The Canadian Ski Association (CSA) is the national governing body for skiing in Canada. It oversees various skiing disciplines, including alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, and freestyle skiing. The CSA is responsible for promoting the sport, developing athletes, and organizing competitions at national and international levels. Founded in 1904, the CSA works closely with provincial ski associations and clubs to support grassroots programs. It also collaborates with organizations like the Canadian Olympic Committee to prepare athletes for events such as the Winter Olympics. The CSA aims to enhance the skiing experience for all Canadians, from beginners to elite competitors.
