The Strathcona Nordics are
Vancouver Island’s Cross Country Ski Club.
Our activities are based at Mt Washington near
Courtenay, B.C. We are a not for profit society
dedicated to skier development and the promotion
of the sport of cross country skiing for fun,
fitness, recreation and health. We are also
working to improve the infrastructure and facilities
and for cross country skiers on Vancouver Island.
Our long-term goal is to send skiers and officials
from Vancouver Island to the 2010 Olympics in
Vancouver.
The club and its activities are organized and
run by volunteer effort and supported through
membership fees, fundraising and sponsorships.
Our fundraising efforts have enabled us to hire
a head coach to oversee and coordinate skier
and coaching development. We are grateful for
the support of our sponsors: CIBC Wood Gundy,
Ski Tak Hut and Mt Washington Resort. We also
benefit from the use of gaming funds allocated
through the BC Gaming Commission.
The club is a member of Cross Country BC and
Cross Country Canada who provide a liability
insurance program and access to the provincial
and national cross country network including
a wide range of programs, resources and information
about cross country skiing. The club also runs
the "Strathcona Nordics / Pacific Sport
Regional Nordic Training Centre" at Mount
Washington which provides professional coaching
to Vancouver Island Athletes through club head
coach Dave Battison. We offer several ski programs
designed for skiers of all ages, interests and
abilities.
So please come into our
site to find out more about us.
