Lessons

This season we offer X-C programs for both Youth and Adults at Brunello Golf Course (Timberlea) and McDonald Sports Park  (Waverley). For youth we will run: Bunnyrabbits, Jackrabbits, Track Attack, Trailblazers  and Junior Racers.  For adults we will offer Beginner and Intermediate groups.

All program participants MUST have a Halifax Nordic Ski Club membership.

  • Trailblazers (14-16yrs) – recommended for both those who have moved through the Jackrabbit/Track Attack programs, as well as newcomers to the sport (entry at age 14-16yrs).
