WELCOME ...

Welcome to Lappe Nordic Ski Club's website. We are a family-friendly volunteer-based recreation, fitness, skill development and racing ski club. We offer programs for all levels from the 4+ Bunny to the 50+ Master. 

Evan at the World Senior Championships

As many of you know, Lappe Ski Club athlete Evan Palmer-Charrette will be representing Canada and our club at the World Senior Ski Championship in Seefeld, Austria.  This is the highest level of competition in the World on non-Olympic years.  We are all so proud of him! 

Evan is not exactly sure what events he will be doing yet, other than the sprint, which is the only guarantee at the moment.

Check out our video wishes for Evan.

The Championships run from Feb. 23 - March 3. See the schedule here.

Fresh Air Race #4 February 28

Fresh Air is once again sponsoring our Thursday evening fun race series for age categories Atom boys & girls to Masters men & women. See the poster for details about start times, prizes, and fees. Note that race fees do NOT include trail pass fees.

Registration is on site and closes at 6:30 pm with race start at 7:00 pm.

Our fourth race will be on Thursday evening February 28. Paul Inkila, our race planner, tells me he thinking of doing sprints.  Stay tuned for the details.

Lappe Invitational, March 9

Our annual Lappe Invitational (view the poster) will take place this year when temperatures are (hopefully) not so cold.  A classic technique race with a combination of start types is planned.  For the 5 & Under group, we will do the traditional 30s interval start in multiple tracks to avoid congestion; Atoms and Pee Wees will experience the togetherness and fun of a mass start.  All older categories will be 15s interval starts.

See the PDF for details of categories, distances, and registration fees. As usual registration is available on Zone4.
