The uniform pieces will be delivered by early January. If you are going to the national seminar it may make sense to have the uniforms delivered to the national seminar site. If you are ordering a uniform and you would like to do this please contact prodeal@cansi.ca.

CANSI's annual National Seminar will be held in the Eastern Townships of Quebec from January 9 to 13, 2012 and is open to all CANSI members.

The National Seminar encourages instructors and Course Conductors from across Canada to meet and improve their ability to satisfy customers.

CANSI XC Level I, II, III and Level IV, and CANSI Telemark Level I, II and III instructors can register on-line: XC and Telemark
Other CANSI members interested in attending, please email technical@cansi.ca before December 31, 2011

A new appliqué logo that obviates the need for the embroidered logo and the resulting holes in the garment and the associated seam sealing. As well as being roughly 75% less than the previous logo cost!

New less stiff fabrics in the two shell jackets, now 510NP GORE-TEX® Soft Shell 3L. This is a 3 Layer Gore Pro Shell fabric with a a very light brushed lining that enhances the breathability of the garment and the overall feel.

A brighter red in all the garments that enhances on hill visibility.

Order early to ensure you get the sizing* you want.

*The SabreSV runs fairly large, I am 5'9" and 175# and a medium is plenty large. Pants are true to size, as are the softshell garments.

The goal of the page is to supplement CANSI.ca and provide a forum for sharing information among those interested in cross-country and telemark ski technique and instruction in Canada and beyond.

The intent of the page is to complement the cansi.ca website by providing new updates and easy-access reminders for CANSI courses. We also hope that it becomes a forum to connect CANSI members and a place for non-CANSI members to learn about the organization. If you have any suggestions to make the page more useful to you, please make them directly on the site.
