Canadian Association of Nordic Ski Instructors
President's Message
And we are off!
The ski season kicks off today in the West with nordic openings in a number of areas. Early-season conditions are great in many of those areas and CANSI courses are being held on opening weekend at a few of them. Yippee!!
If courses are running, it means the website is working. Please continue to be patient if you are experiencing difficulties with the site. Our incredible staff and volunteers are putting in a lot of time to get things running smoothly. Please feel free to contact Marie at [email protected] if you have issues. She is patient and hardworking; we are lucky to have her.
If you are a national-level course conductor, please check out the National Briefing on November 24. This video briefing will bring our national CCs up to date with CANSI’s latest changes in technique and pedagogy. You must register in advance at cansi.ca. Look for the course tiles in Conductors’ Corner.
I am looking forward to teaching in the XC Supercamps at Sovereign Lake and SilverStar this weekend and going forward. Maybe I will see you out there too . . .

COURSES For New Instructors
Want to become a CANSI instructor?
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.
See what becomes available to you once you become a CANSI member. Scroll down to the MEMBERS’ AREAS.
Note: Each region will post their courses at different times.
More courses may be announced as the season unfolds.
Check back often!
