Welcome to the Strathcona Nordic Ski Club (SNSC) website. SNSC is Vancouver Island’s cross-country ski club. We are based in the beautiful nordic ski area of Mount Washington Alpine Resort near Courtenay, BC. Mount Washington has over 55 km of groomed trails that cover a variety of terrain — everything to satisfy the beginner, the advanced nordic skier, and everyone in between.

We are a not-for-profit society dedicated to skier development and the promotion of nordic skiing for fun, fitness, recreation, and health. We are also working to improve the infrastructure and facilities for nordic skiers on Vancouver Island. Last season, we realized one of our long-term goals when we sent SNSC officials and skiers to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver! Learn more about us on the About page. Catch up on our latest news on the Home page.

In the fall, you will be able to register for SNSC winter 2011 programs and membership on the Zone4 website. The Earlybird registration deadline will be November 30, 2010.  The registration deadline for Rabbit Skills Development Programs (Rabbit SDP) will be December 31, 2010. Check back in September to learn exactly when registration will open.
