Golden Rabbits

In our 17th year of the Golden Rabbits Program, we participate in Cross Country Canada’s Skill Development Program in which children 5 - 12 years old are taught by trained volunteer coaches in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. The program costs cover trail fees, hot chocolate, insurance, registration with Cross Country BC and honorariums for our coaches. Contact Julie Caldwell for more info at 250.344.8950.

Golden Nordic Ski Team

Skiers 13 and up can join our Development Team or Recreational program.  Also new is the option for skiers older than 13 to assist/volunteer coach the younger rabbits in lieu of paying fees.  Please note if you are interested in this volunteer option on the registration form.  As a volunteer coach you will be expected to attend every session, and to arrive on time ready to assist where needed with the younger skiers, as directed by the group head coach.

Golden Special Olympics

2010/11 marks the 3rd season for our athletes.  Weekly sessions led by volunteers and coaches teach the fundamentals of classic style skiing to children and adults with developmental disabilities.  Every year our athletes look forward to participating in the Huckleberry Loppet in Golden. It's exciting that one of our athletes has qualified to compete in the Special Olympic Provincials in March 2011. We would love to see more athletes and more volunteers involved in this healthy and fun sport.  Please contact  Linda at 250 348 2135

Drop in to ski with like-minded people who enjoy getting out for a regular ski along the trails at Dawn Mountain Nordic Centre or the Golf Course.

How about meeting at the Dawn Mountain trailhead on Wednesdays at 10 am? You could go for a ski and then have some coffee or lunch afterwards. 

Adult Training Group

The title of this program makes it sound way more serious and official than it is. However, there are often skiers going out for an evening ski after work out at Dawn Mountain Nordic Centre or the Golf Course.  Interested to join for a casual but fun ski at a decent pace? Bring your headlamp! Contact Sanne van der Ros at 250.439.1803. Classic or skate.
