CANSI is the national association for the training and certification of cross country and telemark ski instructors in Canada.
Anyone 15 years of age or older can attend a Level I course in either cross country or telemark discipline. Level I courses are offered across Canada.
Upon successful completion of a Level I course you become a member of CANSI and this gives you access to higher level certification course, refresher briefings, skill development programs and all technical information designed to help you grow and develop your skiing and teaching skills.
There’s a chill in the air as autumn is upon many of us across the country. Here in the Kootenays of British Columbia, the birch and poplar are yellowing along with the larches up high, which means a definite feeling of a change in seasons. It won't be long before I pull out my skis and think of heading to Silver Star for my early-season training. I look forward to seeing many of you there.
