The Friends of Mount Sima Society grew out of a group of passionate individuals intent on opening the hill for the winter of 2013-2014. With this dream realized, the Board of Directors and many key volunteers continue to work toward creating a multi-year sustainable business plan for the hill.
Friends of Mount Sima meets monthly every second Thursday at 12:00pm, meetings are held at Aasman Brand Communications.

Shane has a background working in athlete and course safety as a physiotherapist with Alpine Canada’s men’s world cup teams. He looks forward to continuing to get to know as many members of our great Sima community as possible. Shane’s work with the board is focused on helping Mount Sima be an enduring centre for snowboarding, skiing, riding and flying for years to come.
