Supporting the club means supporting the growth of this wonderful sport and the many programs offered by the Nordic Racers Ski Club, such as a comprehensive Junior Nordics program for skiers 10-18, and sponsorship of a sit-ski for disabled skiers.
As a member of the Nordic Racers Ski Club in good standing, you get:

Discounted Accommodation
Your membership allows us to operate, and make financial transactions such as reserving budget accommodation at Silver Star and at supported races such as the Nickel Plate Loppet and Mt. Washington Loppet. Last year, we reserved 10 houses at Silver Star for the Silver Star Ski Camp in November. When you book that many rooms, you get a serious discount.

Subsidized Skill Development
Membership gives you access to club grants for courses in coaching, officials development, race organization, sports first aid, etc.
Social Events
Meet new friends by attending our free hot chocolate night at Hollyburn Lodge every Wednesday during the ski season. The club also organizes potluck dinners at the Silver Star training camp, a Wine and Cheese evening at the beginning of the season, a summer BBQ, dinner at the AGM, and a dinner and awards ceremony at the end of the season.
Ongoing Communication
We maintain a website and regular e-mail newsletter to keep members informed about events and opportunities to ski and train both during and outside the ski season. The website has areas to buy and sell gear.
Insurance Coverage
Your membership fees, and signing of the club and Cross Country BC waivers, allow us to provide you with insurance coverage through CCBC. This protects you, the club, and the executive in the event of injury while participating in a club-sanctioned event.
Discounted Joint Membership
The Vancouver Skiers is a non profit club offering organized day and overnight tours by bus and carpool to various ski areas. They offer trips to the Larch Hills (Salmon Arm) and Cariboo loppets, and also have monthly meetings from December to March.
For a few seasons now, the Vancouver Skiers and Nordic Racers have offered joint memberships — if you join both clubs, your total membership fees can be reduced by $10 (or more).
How this works:
-
Join your first club as a regular member, and pay the usual membership fee.
-
Join your second club, but pay the reduced fee for joint members.
-
You've just saved some money!
Why this works: part of your membership fee goes to Cross Country BC, for insurance and other purposes. If you belong to both clubs, we don't need to duplicate this payment, so the savings can be passed on to you.
