Eddie Wong: Club Team Coach

Eddie's first experience skiing was at Lake Eden (a half hour west of Edmonton). He was 19, on borrowed gear, and had a blast, and from that point on avidly pursued the sport. Prior to joining the Jasper Freeride Coaching Team (2009/10), he worked for many years with the Marmot Basin Ski School and the Jasper Ski Team (Nancy Greene). So he's no stranger to the Marmot Basin Resort.

Eddie's always looking for a new challenge. It keeps him passionate about the sport. Eddie's got a good eye.
