We just returned
from a great Supercamp experience at Canada’s largest cross country ski trail
network at the Sovereign Lake-Silver Star Nordic facility located near Vernon,
B.C. The main Supercamps ran from November 20 to December 6, 2015 and they
included 3 weekend camps and two 5 day mid week camps. These camps are worth
looking at for many reasons including: amazing early season snow, well
qualified CANSI instructors and coaches and a 105 km long trail system that is
well groomed for classic and skate technique. Add to this presentations by
waxing experts, access to a well -equipped weight room and high quality
Rossignol ski equipment and what more could you ask for? And did I mention that
many cross country ski teams use this area for their early season training
camps so you are sharing the trails with some of the continent’s best cross
country skiers. Guy Paulsen who helps organize the Supercamps told us that the
number of skiers taking part keeps increasing and many skiers come back year
after year. This year there were close to 200 who took part and they came from all over North America as well as England!

| Our class tried juggling and striding at the same time! |
These camps are
geared to everyone from first timers to advanced skiers wanting to improve
their technique.
If you want a mid
season tune up on your skiing you can still take in 2 more weekend camps which
are scheduled for January 15-17, 2016, February 19-21, 2016 and a May camp with
dates to be determined. For more information see:
