SNSC program fees have remained unchanged for several years while many costs associated with our non-profit club have increased. As such, we increased fees for the 2024-25 season and will increase fees again next season. We also changed our registration procedure to encourage coaching support for our programs and to reward coaches and key volunteers for their commitment to our club. Some of this is also in response to new club policy around coach/athlete ratios.
"Regular" program registration will open on Oct 1st (per usual) with updated pricing
"Early registration" exclusively for coaches and key volunteers; this will include reduced rates for our programs. Access to early registration is based on coaching roles and key volunteers (hours based). The club registrar will be in touch with coaches/key volunteers prior to Oct 1st.
We invite parents to consider coaching this season to ensure access to programs for next year (rabbitcoordinator@strathconanordics.com), or to sign up for one of the many volunteer roles for the upcoming season: general club activities, SDP (Rabbits/Youth Rec), Devos/Juniors.

3: Trail Passes
Remember, when you register for our programs and/or membership, you still need a Mount Washington Alpine Resort Season Pass or trail pass tickets to use on the trails! Mount Washington early bird rates for Season Passes are available until September 30.
6 and under are free but still require a trail pass.
Mount Washington Alpine Resort offers Nordic 6ixPaks. Consider purchasing 6ixPak tickets for children, youth and adults, if only skiing on program days. You can find more information here.
4: Equipment & Clothing
Equipment: First, check out Cross Country BC ski equipment recommendations for children. Check out our virtual ski swap. Our local sponsor, Ski Tak Hut is a wealth of knowledge about outfitting your cross-country ski needs.
Season Rentals: See Mount Washington Alpine Resort website or Ski Tak Hut for booking your seasonal Nordic equipment.
Clothing: During the course of the 10-week season, expect to encounter all types of weather, with various combinations of sun, cold, wind, rain, and snow. Dressing in layers is a great way to keep warm and dry, and removing layers is an option if the weather is warmer than expected.
Remember to protect your eyes with sunglasses and your skin with sunscreen (despite the sun’s rays being less strong generally in winter, dermatologists advise that due to the reflective nature of the snow protection is needed).
