Ski Technique Clinics

Looking for tips and tricks to enhance your ski skills? 

Our Ski Technique Clinics are for Kanata Nordic members only! We are offering clinics on a variety of skills with seasoned instructors that will be available to members on a first come, first serve basis. Most clinics will run 60 to 90 mins.

Before signing-up please keep the following in mind:

  • you must be a Kanata Nordic 2024-25 season pass holder
  • you must be 16 years of age or older
  • you must have all the necessary ski equipment
  • you must not be currently attending Kanata Nordic ski lessons (these one-time clinics are intended for members who are on waitlists and/or not in lessons)
  • you will be asked for your 7 digit membership number which can be found in the Zone4 membership registration receipt email
  • please only sign-up for one clinic so more members can participate

All technique clinics are dependent on weather and snow conditions. If your clinic is canceled due to poor conditions, we will notify you as soon as possible.
