A group practicing poling at Sovereign Lake Nordic ski area |
The camps are
broken down into 3 day and 5 day camps and this year ran from November 20 to December
10. Classes involve instruction by some of Canada’s top cross country ski instructors
and coaches and a chance to ski on the 105 km trail network which includes
trails at Silver Star and Sovereign Lake Nordic ski areas. The camps offer video analysis of your skiing
plus late afternoon lectures on nutrition, yoga, how to prepare for skiing a
loppet and much more. There are a variety of specialized programmes including
biathlon, a pro camp for aspiring masters racers and new this year is “Wild
Women” programme which involves enjoying the nordic ski experience in a fun,
friendly, female-focused environment. Spend your mornings on skis improving
your technique, and then relax in the afternoons with wine & yoga, a
strength and conditioning session, and other exciting extras. Like many of the
sessions this year this programme sold out early. Class size varies but is
usually between 5-6 participants per instructor which makes for personalized
instruction.
The views from the trails are spectacular |
For those that
missed the early season camps you can still take part in Supercamp with 2 more
sessions coming up on January 12-14, 2018 and February 16-18, 2018. For more
