Annual Club Fundraiser is open now!

🚨 Help Us Conquer Cardiac Hill! 🚨

East Busk Trail Upgrades & Cardiac Hill Reroute Fundraiser

If you’ve ever powered your way up Cardiac Hill, you know the name is well-earned. 😅

To improve performance, safety, and keep our trails open and skiable during low-snow conditions, we’re undertaking much-needed upgrades to the East Busk Trail and a reroute of Cardiac Hill.

These improvements will make your ski smoother, faster, and more enjoyable – now and for years to come. But we can’t reach the top without your help.

👉 Donate today and help us build better trails for everyone. All donors automatically receive a charitable tax receipt. 


🎉 Psst… Here’s the BIG news 🎉

Five anonymous champions of Nordic skiing in BC have stepped up with $18,000 in matching funds to kickstart this year’s Annual Club Fundraiser!

That means your donation goes significantly further, but only until the matching funds are gone.

💥 Here’s how the matching works:

  • Raise       $200 → Club receives $100 match
  • Raise       $800 → $300 match
  • Raise       $2,000 → $600 match
  • Raise       $4,000 → $1,000 match

📊 Do the math:

When a club raises its first $4,000, it receives $2,000 in matching funds; a 50% boost to every dollar donated.


⏳ Why act now?

  • Matching funds are limited
  • Trail work depends on early-season support
  • Your donation has maximum impact right now

💙 Help us reach the top of Cardiac Hill; literally and figuratively.

Donate today and make every dollar counts

Club Updates – Thank you IODE Nelson Chapter!

We are incredibly grateful to IODE for their generous $1,000 donation in support of our Nelson Nordic Ski Club.

Hearing that the IODE chapter has donated over $51,000 to community groups is truly inspiring, and we are honored to be among the organizations you support.

It isn’t always easy to measure the full impact of a donation, but we know without question that at Nelson Nordic Ski Club we could not do what we do without the generosity of community partners like you. Every welcoming smile, every kind greeting, and every act of support you share helps spread joy and build dreams throughout our community.

Your contribution helps fund programs and events that bring people together, spark passion, and keep Nordic dreams alive for individuals and families alike. From all of us at Nelson Nordic Ski Club, thank you for believing in our mission and in the power of community.
