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.
It is the middle of February and I find myself at Powder King Mountain Resort, northwest of Prince George, B.C., ski touring with an old friend and his local telemark skiing buddy. This will cap a month of XC skiing in Silver Star, Nelson and Kaslo, B.C., along with a weekend in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I have met and skied with a lot of really cool people who share my passion for what my friend Simon Holden calls "riding and sliding along.”
CANSI has been busy with courses running all across the country ...
