Youth Programs

Whistler Nordics Ski Club Skill Development Program Details:

Registration for our Skill Development Program (SDP) is now closed for the 2009 - 2010 season.

Registration opens Sept 11th at Strut Your Stuff, Myrtle Philips School.

Our program is for children from 5 to 17 years of age. It follows the Cross Country BC youth skills program and the Long Term Athlete Development Program guidelines as set out by Sport Canada.

The Whistler Nordics will hold sessions both at Lost Lake and Whistler Olympic Park/Callaghan Country. You can choose to ski in the program on one of those days or both. The club has several different levels as outlined below. All of our coaches are volunteers from the Club - most are parents who have taken the required Cross Country Canada coaching courses offered through the Whistler Nordics Ski Club.
Maria Lundgren will continue her job as head coach for the Whistler Nordics 09/10 season.
