The coordination committee
One of the big challenges facing the sport of telemark skiing is how to get young people involved. Norman Thibault, a Telemark Level III instructor from CANSI Quebec has found a way to do this. Norman and two others formed a non-profit organization called “Telemark Laurentides” as member of Telemark Quebec.
Mark December 4-8, 2008 down in your calendar now!

CANSI is looking for volunteers to work on the Telemark Ski Your Best Project.
The project’s goal is to produce an instructional program administered by CANSI-certified instructors to skiers who want to improve their technique, but who don’t want to become certified instructors. Participants achieve different levels based on the skills they demonstrate in different telemark maneuvers. The different levels are designed to be motivational for students, while giving instructors objective skills criteria for dividing students into lessons.
The Annual General Meeting of the Canadian Association of Nordic Ski Instructors will be held on Saturday December 2nd, 2006 from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. at Silver Star Mountain Resort (Silver Star, B.C.) in the High Altitude Training Centre. All members are invited to attend.
Greetings all. In case you have not heard, it is with great sadness that I must inform you that Mike Moran - CANSI Ontario’s master course conductor, a very generous teacher and talented Nordic skier - has just passed away this Saturday morning (around 9 am) in Barrie’s hospital.
