This is a casual recreation based ski program aimed at families.
This new program requires a minimum registration of 6 participants to run, registration will be capped at 15 participants.
The Family Rec Ski program is open to all ages 10 and older, and is recommended for individuals with prior skiing experience, those who can ski either 5km or 1h with minimal breaks. To encourage family participation in our program all children 10 – 12 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
The goal of this program is to provide individuals an opportunity to explore their local trail network under the guidance of a trained coach who can offer technical advice and guidance while on the trails.
The Family Rec Ski Program is not a skills development program, its primary goal is to bring individuals together on skis and explore the West Bragg Creek Trails System in a social environment. Technical advice and practice will be woven into the course, however this will remain secondary to the social-exploratory aspect of our program.
Please register each participant (parent/guardian and children) separately.
Please have ski equipment ready and waxed for these sessions before the start of classes. Arrive 15 mins early to prepare. Classic ski gear is required. Please see parent handbook for more information
Cold weather cut-off is -20C ambient temperature.
Classes subject to cancellation due to risky/changing weather conditions at coach discretion. Make up classes will not provided. Please consult parent handbook for more information.
*NC/NA fees are mandatory fees paid annually and are a regular part of all nordic ski programs. They have been included in the cost structure this year to give parents the complete fee for participation, and not just XCBC program fees.

What Member’s Say
When you really think about it, this is almost the “ideal” program in so many ways. It is local and convenient. It is a “no stress” introduction to a sport that promotes fitness and health for life. It offers competitive opportunities to those who so desire. Finally it happens in a beautiful outdoor environment. I believe there are many sports clubs who seek to fulfill one of these goals, but very few who attempt to fulfill all of them. We are so fortunate to have XCBC in our backyard!
Let me say something. You have an amazing team with awesome support. They really helped me this weekend. This is what I call an “extra mile” in customer relationship. So I give 8 stars for the program theme and if I could, I’d give 10 stars for support.
