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.
There is snow on the ground in Alberta and British Columbia! Cross country ski areas are opening up, and CANSI instructors are getting ready for the upcoming season. Some of us will be on snow on November 22 at Sovereign Lake, B.C., for the XC Course Conductor Briefing, followed by the XC Level lll/lV workshop on November 23 and 24, also at Sovereign Lake. With Supercamps starting up around the same time, a lot of skiers will be getting a head start on their seasons. I hope to see some of you at one event or another.
Wherever you are, I hope you enjoy the rest of autumn. I will ski for you when I get to Sovereign Lake...
