Meet Gordon Meyers!
There are numerous members of Wapiti Nordic who volunteer many hours, coach, instruct and share their love of skiing. Gord Meyers is one of those members, who also is an inspiration to many skiers. When Gord retired (20 years ago) he became an active skier and soon took up skate skiing. A few years later he began teaching adults. He both coordinated the adult lesson program and actively taught for many years. He is a patient teacher, encouraging others to improve their skills, and at the same time, always learning to improve his own technique. He enjoys being a lifelong learner in both athletic pursuits and otherwise.
Gord recently retired from teaching but is still an avid skier in his senior years. At age 70 he skied his first Edmonton Birkie (31 km) and over the next 5 years, brought home a couple of silver medals. He has continued to volunteer for many Club activities, including President and several terms on the executive. Obviously he wants members to enjoy the great facility and he wants to be involved in its ongoing success.
Watch for a youthful looking man out on skate skis or classic with a smile on his face and it will likely be Gord. Thank you for your service to the club and for being a constant inspiration to us Gord!
