Cross Country Skiing
Triathlete Within Cross Country Ski Club - TWXC
Have you ever wanted to try something different during the “off” season, or to find another way to experience our wonderful outdoors in the snowy months, or perhaps challenge yourself and participate in a ski marathon or loppet, or maybe you just want a break from those long lonely hours on the trainer in the basement?
Join the TWXC club and get some amazing cardio training in addition to some key ski skills. Chris, CANSI Level 2 and Jill, CANSI Level 1, are excited about helping you develop some classic ski skills and building ski endurance. For those who wish, the ultimate goal could be to do a ski marathon or loppet such as the Birkebeiner (just east of Edmonton), the Kananaskis Cookie Race (late Feb) or the Lake Louise Loppet (early March). We will focus on the classic ski technique as most loppets are for classic technique only. We will also discuss a variety of topics such as waxing, clothing and equipment selection.
All skill levels are welcome! We just want to get people out on the snow and promote a great sport!
Locations: Canmore, Kananaskis, Bragg Creek, Banff, Lake Louise all have some fabulous skiing and we would love to sample as much of it as we can. Updates on where we will be skiing will be posted on Triathlete Within Club Facebook page. If you are not a TW Club member please friend us on Facebook.
Dates: We will ski on Saturdays starting January 09, 2016 ready to ski at 10:00 am. We will ski as long as there is good snow (or to the end of March).
Transportation: Carpooling is highly recommended so we will share contact information so participants can connect.
Costs: All transportation, trail fees (when applicable), food and equipment are the responsibility of the participant. We are a registered Club with Cross Country Alberta so the only costs are to cover CCA registration fees. $20 per person for the season is payable to us and we will register you.
We look forward to skiing with you!
