January 2025 Newsletter

On December 27-28, the Race Team has another ski waxing fundraiser.
If you missed the earlier one, it is not too late to get your skis in shape. Getting your skis ready helps our athletes going to the Ski Nationals in Canmore in March.
Cost: $30 per pair
Pay at the time of pickup. Or pre-pay at Polar Peek Books, or as a Christmas gift ! Small race team branded cowbells are also available.
‡ ‡ ‡ If your child is in the SDP program and has a set of the club rental skis, bring the skis for a FREE waxing.
The Fernie Nordic Society is exploring the possibility of kicking off an Adaptive Nordic Skiing Program this winter for individuals with disabilities!
This program would aim to provide opportunities for individuals with disabilities to learn and engage in cross-country skiing in a supportive and fun environment! We believe that individuals of every ability should have the opportunity to experience Fernie’s winter through this wonderful sport.
We want to hear from you! Are you interested in participating, volunteering or supporting this initiative? We have a short survey for you. Any and all feedback is welcome, your input is essential in helping us shape a program that fits the needs of our community.
If you or someone you know might be interested in this initiative, please send us a message.
