General Program Information

Leadership & Coaching
Program leaders and coaches are all committed to providing a positive learning environment where the participant can progress at their own rate and to their own level of commitment.  Foothills Nordic supports leader development - through NCCP and CANSI programs.  We also provide opportunities for new members wishing to be involved as a leader or coach.

Club Nights (and Days)
All program participants and club members are invited to participate in the scheduled club ski events and dry land training.  During the summer and fall this is Tuesday night.  Everyone is encouraged to come out and participate.  Please check our discussion Forum for the location.

Equipment & Clothing
Participants in Foothills Nordic programs are expected to equip themselves appropriately.  This includes suitable clothing and ski equipment including one of the standard Nordic track skiing boot/binding systems (Salomon, New Nordic Norm).  New members can obtain advice from leaders and coaches at registration on appropriate equipment and clothing.

Limitations to the Programs
Foothills Nordic reserves the right to reconfigure programs based on the numbers and skill levels of the subscribers.  Programs may be limited to a specific number of participants.

There may be multiple groups within each level depending on how many athletes sign up for each level.  Within a level, groups will be structured based on ability and skier chemistry.  The coaches will determine the individual groups' structure after some dry-land experience in the fall.  The overall goal is to match skiers into groups that will provide a good cross section of individuals at a comparable level of ability. Movement among groups during the course of the year is a distinct possibility and will be done through consultation.

Sessions missed due to inclement weather will be made up at the coaches' discretion.
