The post-Paralympic blues! We worked so hard for the 2010 Winter Paralympic Games and now that it is over we needed to find new goals to aim for. The core group of Paralympic athletes have retired from racing and are now focused on coaching and developing the next generation of Para-Nordic racers. This year we have several First Contact programs scheduled whereby we invite persons with a physical disability to try cross country skiing out for the first time! We also have a Development Program for those adaptive skiers who want to further develop their ski technique and perhaps even race. We have also started the first integrated Junior Adaptive Nordic Ski program in Canada! There are three adaptive skiers in a ski program with six able-bodied skiers, between the ages of 8 and 14.

As we begin working with the next generation of adaptive skiers we find ourselves in need of coaches and of course we have room for more athletes! Contact Coach@NordicRacers.ca for more details!
