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 50 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. In winter 2010, 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.

As of October 1st 2011, you can register for SNSC winter 2012 programs and membership on the Zone4 website. The Earlybird registration deadline will be November 30, 2011.  The registration deadline for Rabbit Skills Development Programs (Rabbit SDP) will be December 30, 2011. Remember, when you register for our programs or membership, you still need a Mount Washington Nordic Season’s Pass or trail pass to use the trails! Rabbit families are eligible for a special trail pass, which is valid only on Rabbit program days.

Our recreational 2012 programs will begin on Saturday, January 7 or Sunday, January 8 and run for 10 weeks. You can find out more about SNSC programs on our 2011 Programs pages. Check out our photos and Ski Tips with Coach Dave videos in the Gallery pages.
