Women’s Wednesday Ski Fitness Program –Jan 5th – Feb 9th

This is a program for women who want to improve their base fitness and skill, gain confidence on the trails and meet other enthusiastic skiers in a community setting. Learn with a supportive group of women who are motivated to be out on the trails, whether you are a recreational skier looking to improve your technique and confidence, or you are looking to do your first loppet.

Participants don’t have to be skilled skiers to join this group, however this is not a program for first time skiers. Participants should be able to ski Moose Loop comfortably (West Bragg Creek Trails), or be able to navigate a blue trail and ski 5km+ in length.

XCBC Masters Program

XCBC Masters Program is built around the principle of having fun while building fitness. This program is for committed athletes who want the fitness to confidently line up on the start line of events like the Lake Louise Loppet or Cookie Race without the pressure of building their season around racing. Participants must be proficient classic and skate skiers with a base fitness to ski comfortably for 90+ minutes. That being said, the program focus is to improve technique and cardiovascular fitness while being tailored to your individual needs. This is not a learn to ski program; it is a ski development and group training program that meets both individual training goals and maintaining group cohesion. The goal is to create sub groups of similar speed to motivate and complete training and instruction sessions with a sense of community unique to Bragg Creek… and to have fun!!

What Member’s Say

When you really think about it, this is almost the “ideal” program in so many ways. It is local and convenient. It is a “no stress” introduction to a sport that promotes fitness and health for life. It offers competitive opportunities to those who so desire. Finally it happens in a beautiful outdoor environment. I believe there are many sports clubs who seek to fulfill one of these goals, but very few who attempt to fulfill all of them. We are so fortunate to have XCBC in our backyard!

Let me say something. You have an amazing team with awesome support. They really helped me this weekend. This is what I call an “extra mile” in customer relationship. So I give 8 stars for the program theme and if I could, I’d give 10 stars for support.
