Foothills Nordic is proud to offer the Ski at School program, introducing Calgary’s elementary students to the joys of cross-country skiing right in their own school yards! We provide everything needed for a fun and safe experience—track setting, top-quality equipment, and expert coaching.

Launched in 2010, the program was an immediate hit, and in 2016, it expanded nationally with Cross Country Canada and AltaGas. Foothills Nordic continues to lead the charge locally, delivering the program hree days of skiing lessons annually to 5-7 schools, where certified trained coaches teach kids the fundamentals of skiing while promoting fitness and fun.
