CANSI is the national association for the training and certification of cross country and telemark ski instructors in Canada.
Anyone 15 years of age or older can attend a Level I course in either cross country or telemark discipline. Level I courses are offered across Canada.
Upon successful completion of a Level I course you become a member of CANSI and this gives you access to higher level certification course, refresher briefings, skill development programs and all technical information designed to help you grow and develop your skiing and teaching skills.
What a crazy winter it’s been so far! It still feels like November here in southern B.C. I managed to find plenty of snow this past weekend, but I had to climb to 2100 metres to find 250 centimetres of accumulation. It was worth the climb, but the rising temperatures were affecting the snowpack as we headed back down out of the mountains. These unseasonably warm temperatures are not great for cross country or telemark skiing, so I hope that, wherever you are, the snow gods are being kind to your favourite ski areas.
