| At Silver Star you can ski down Main street |
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 21 to December 4, 2016 and they included 2 weekend camps and
two 5 day mid week camps. These camps are worth looking at for many reasons
including: early season snow, well qualified CANSI instructors and coaches and
a 105 km long trail system that is well groomed for both classic and skate
technique. Add to this, presentations by waxing experts, access to a well
-equipped weight room, optional yoga and core workout sessions.... 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. Shane Landreville who
organizes 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 over 300 skiers who took part and they came from all over North America and even
several from England and even Australia!!

These camps are geared to
everyone from first timers to advanced skiers wanting to improve their
technique and get in cross country skiing on a huge variety of trails. 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 13-15, 2017 and February 17-19, 2017. For
