Kal Tire:  By supporting Kal, you are directly supporting grassroots development of cross country skiing in BC.  A friendly request to please promote the $100 Kal coupon with your club members during the next 3 weeks (in newsletters, social media, email, etc).  As announced below, Kal Tire has teamed up with Nokian Tyres of Finland to offer a $100 discount on any set of Nokian tires, including the flagship Hakkapeliitta tire.  To add some fun, the 6 clubs that redeem the most coupons at their local Kal shop(s), on a per-member basis, will win $2000, $1500, $1000, $700, $500, and $300.  More details on everything in previous email below.

Fun facts:  Did you know that Finland (one of the world’s great cross country ski nations) invented:

  • the sauna (there are over 3 million saunas in Finland, an average of one per household)
  • the heart rate monitor
  • the rescue toboggan
  • the pulk
  • the winter tire!         (FYI Nokian is the only tire manufacturer in the world with its own permanent winter tire testing facility.)

THANK YOU everyone as we gear up for another exciting season.  In the face of declining sport and physical activity in Canada, cross country skiing in BC is bucking the trend!

Thank you for joining the racing team Verecan Capital Management Inc. and Spearhead!!

Our Nelson Nordic Ski Team is stoked with your support that will keep them gliding through practices and racing across finish lines in the 2024/2025 season.

With your generous sponsorship the team has been able to purchase a new waxing table complete with arm extensions, and new waxes to meet the ever-changing competition waxing standards.

Verecan, your contribution of $1876 was exactly what our team needed to purchse their new Wax Table with arm extensions! Now the wax team can quickly get our ski athletes on snow at practices, events and races:)

In the ever-changing world of event and race requirements staying up to date is top of the mind for all our team. Now with the generous $500 sponsorship contribution from Spearhead your Nelson Nordic Ski team can focus on what they do best…rocking events with thier newly aquired waxes.
