Adult Programs to get you sliding & gliding

We have a number of different fun, social ways for you to ski with friends while improving your technical skills!

THURSDAY NIGHT ADULT SOCIAL SKI

New this year, we are offering a social drop-in ski on Thursday nights. These evenings will be organized as a social ski but will not involve a formal lesson format. Instead, this will be a group ski led by certified CANSI instructors who may offer some technique tips along the way. We plan to have an instructor for skate and classic leading the group each week.

If you’re interested in joining us on Thursday nights, please fill out our brief survey (takes two minutes, tops).

Join us on Thursday nights at 6 p.m., starting January 9th, and meeting at the Apex trailhead. No pre-registration required, though there will be a $5 drop-in fee for all who attend and trail fees apply for non-members.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to pay any fees, sign waivers (once for the season) and get your skis on. Remember to bring a headlamp (we will be leaving the lit Night Loop) and your own skis, boots and poles. We have no rental gear on site. If you need to rent gear, please visit our friends at Gericks in downtown Nelson.

ADULT GROUP LESSONS

Registration is now open for our adult lessons and programs. In January and February, we are offering group lessons for Levels 1 and 2 in both Classic and Skate Ski techniques. Group lessons will take place on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings. 

Spaces are limited, so don’t delay. Sign up today!
