Are you thinking of travelling to Canada this summer to ski? COLIN AND THE KIMBERLEY NORDIC CLUB have opportunities to ski at our world class and FIS level trails with our Junior Development Team. You can take part in activities varying from small local events, to large competitive events such as the Western Canadian Championships.
Kimberley is situated in the Southeast of British Columbia on the edge of the Purcell Mountains looking across to the mighty Rocky Mountains. With downhill skiing, cross country skiing, fat-biking and more just 5 minutes from downtown, the town makes for a full winter experience.
To participate in programs, you will need to purchase a Kimberley Nordic membership and enrol in a daily or weekly programming
