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.

sdp ski gear

Our club is working on getting new gear to replace the rental gear used by the kids in the Skill Development Program. Some of the gear is already ten years old. Here is another opportunity to help the club.
First the club is starting a fundraiser through Nordiq Canada toward this goal. And locally, The Guide’s Hut right here in Fernie has donated $2,000 worth of ski equipment with some additional amount related to the sales during February.


The Guide’s Hut

Supporting local businesses is supporting your community!! 

The Guide’s Hut has so graciously donated $2,000 worth of junior nordic ski equipment to the children & youth’s programming junior rental fleet! Additionally, they will be donating a portion of the total sales of Nordic equipment sold in February up to a total of $2,000.

Looking for Nordic equipment & the opportunity to support FNS? 

Visit our friends over at The Guide’s Hut & check out their awesome selection of inventory in store! The team can usually have skis set up & ready to go same day!
