Please note: All children in skiing programs must be WNSC
members
The goal of our
programs is to introduce children to cross country skiing as a lifelong
sport that can best be enjoyed once the basic skills and techniques
have been mastered. Fun and games are the major component of the
programs with children grouped by age and ability.
- Bunny Rabbits is for children five years of age and
younger (U – 6). Children must have an adult ski with them.
- Jackrabbits is for children six to nine years of age
(U – 10). Children
progress from beginner through to advanced with appropriate activities
at each level. Parents
are more than welcome to ski with their child’s Jackrabbit group!
- Track Attack Racers is
for skiers over the age of ten with an
interest in competitive skiing. Racing technique and training is
emphasized. - Wapiti
Racers is for skiers
with an interest in competitive skiing. 2007 Wapiti Racers Registration Form

- Biathlon Bears is for skiers over the age of ten with an

Equipment:
|
The WNSC has several sets of
cross country skis that can be borrowed for the lesson season.
These skis are offered on a first come first serve basis, starting in
the fall. In lieu of payment, parents are asked to
volunteer three hours as a cocoa parent. |
Track Attack, Wapiti Racers, and Biathlon
Bears require wax-able skis (no fish scales). Waxing Technique is
taught in both programs.
Bunny Rabbits, Go Ski, Boys Club and Jackrabbits will enjoy
early success with waxless skis (fish scales). However, as
children progress, a wax-able ski will definitely enhance their skiing
experience.
Parents wanting to ski with their children are able to borrow free skis
- while they last.
NO WALKING ON THE SKI TRAILS
DEADLINE FOR
REGISTRATION IS DECEMBER 1. This allows us time to
organize classes, ski rentals and order booklets and stickers.
Some late registrations may be accepted if there is room in the
program. Meeting the registration deadline prevents
disappointment and helps ensure we have well-planned programs.
What to wear?
Layers of clothing work best - nothing too bulky, being
able to move is very important. Scarves or neck warmers can be
worn at half mast, ready to "spring into action" as needed. One
pair of good quality ski socks should be worn - the toes need to be
able to move.
