WILLIAMS LAKE
CROSS-COUNTRY SKI CLUB
PO Box 4026
Williams Lake, B.C. V2G 2V2

Cross-country skiing is an inexpensive lifetime sport suitable for all ages and abilities. It is virtually injury-free, low impact, activates all the body’s major muscle groups, and is excellent for the cardiovascular system. It is an ideal physical activity, a great way to get outdoor exercise during winter months, and is a whole lot of fun. Skill development can greatly enhance cross-country skiing enjoyment and lifetime participation.

Youth Programs

Cross Country Canada’s skill development program for youth is offered by the Williams Lake Cross-country Ski Club for ages up to 12. Emphasis is on fun, participation, skill development, and safety.

The objective of the program is to provide children with an opportunity to develop cross-country skiing skills at their own speed, based on their natural abilities, current skills, and interests.

The program develops excellent skiing technique through a continuum of development levels, beginning with Bunnyrabbits for ages up to 5 years, followed by Jackrabbits for ages 6 to 9, and concluding with Track Attack for ages 10 to 12.

Session Dates

Every Sunday at 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. beginning on the first Sunday after January 1 until mid February. All sessions are at Bull Mountain Ski Area. A youth program session will be cancelled if temperatures at 12:00 noon at the Williams Lake airport are -20°C or colder.
