Beginner to Advanced Skiers Welcome

Five years ago a local ski club, the Nordic Racers, started an adaptive ski program for athletes with a physical disability. Last season, five members of our program competed in the 2010 Vancouver Paralympic Games in cross-country skiing and biathlon. Having successfully reached their goal of racing at the Paralympics, our team has now turned their energy towards a new challenge — introducing more people with a disability to the sport! We have planned a series of ski clinics this winter where our Paralympians, their coaches, and other club members will teach people with disabilities, their friends and family how to ski.

Where: Whistler Olympic Park in the Callaghan Valley just south of Whistler.
When: Sunday, March 20th, 2011.
Who: Anyone with a physical disability along with their family and friends.

To Register: Email adaptive@nordicracers.ca or call 604-541-8664.
