PARA NORDICS

Welcome to the Nordic Racers Ski Club’s community of para Nordic cross-country skiers, based in Vancouver, BC.

Our Para Nordic programs have something for everyone!

Did You Know?

The term "para Nordic" refers to the Paralympic winter sports, cross-country skiing and biathlon, involving athletes with a physical disability. Para Nordic categories comprise sit-skiing, adaptive standing, and vision-impaired (VI).

Often, you’ll hear about “adaptive” cross-country skiing and biathlon, a more general term that highlights the fact that, with specialized adaptations, these winter sports are accessible to people with physical and cognitive disabilities who are keen to enjoy the outdoors.

Volunteering for the Para Nordics

Our volunteers make it all happen and we are grateful for the energy and enthusiasm they put into supporting the Para Nordics.

Each year, we welcome new volunteers and offer hands-on training and opportunities to gain experience working with Para Nordic skiers.

Supporting our Para Nordics

We sincerely appreciate financial contributions to cover Para Nordic program expenses.

Each year, we need to purchase specialized equipment and supplies and pay for costs such as coaching fees, trail passes and facility and equipment rentals.

From time to time, we also provide grants to para Nordic athletes seeking to compete for BC and Canada
