Families and adults compete in a very casual atmosphere in the staging area and on two ski courses. The activities start around 10 am near the hut of the Nordic Centre. The biathlon option is coming back again this year. A few EcoAims ‘rifles’ will be on hand. Test your ski speed and shooting accuracy in the same fun event. Read more about the event on our dedicated webpage. Skiing in costume is a tradition of this event – go wild! Food will be available by donation.

Hint: Kids really like nordic ski lessons !

Our provincially sanctioned lessons program is a great opportunity to slide easily into a fun winter activity. Nordic skiing is a rewarding physical activity that can be done as an outing with family or friends. Fernie has several skiing locations within a few minutes drive from home. For example, from the Annex you can walk to the dyke, ski along the river and on the trails of the golf course.

sdp lesson

Our volunteer coaches are keen to show your children of all levels of ability the secrets of basic skiing on crosscountry skis. Lessons are held at the Elk Valley Nordic Centre weekly starting in January. You may choose one of three times during the week: Saturday mornings, Tuesdays or Thursdays after school. Lessons are 60 or 90 minutes long depending on age.

And the best thing may be that our Skill Development Program (SDP) is very inexpensive. Then it is not even necessary to purchase the ski gear. The club has a fleet of skis, boots and poles of various sizes available to rent at a very low cost. Some financial help is also available locally to cover the lessons cost if required.

The program is designed for children with ages from 3 to 18. Check out our website for details of the SDP program HERE. Registration in the program and our gear rentals is done at the same time as getting a season membership through our page at Zone4.ca

Our area starts getting some snow by the end of November and the rental gear gets distributed in early December. So do not delay to get your child registered. Contact us for more information.
