TRACK ATTACK

The Goal of the Track Attack Program is to:

  • Have fun

  • Fitness

  • Provide children an opportunity to be part of a sport “team”

  • Improve ski technique

  • Utilize games, relays, adventure trails, and terrain parks to develop technique, skills and fitness

  • Learn how to wax skis

  • Nurture a team/social atmosphere

NORDIC Cruisers

Ages 10-13 years old
The Track Attack Nordic Cruisers get out and enjoy time on cross-country skis. The focus is on fun, skill development, and recreation. The one race that the Nordic Cruisers will participate in is the Huckleberry Loppet February 8 and 9th, 2025. The coach will provide support for this race. Participants will learn techniques of cross-country skiing through games, activities, and skiing along the trails, including adventure trails! Prerequisite: successfully achieved program 4 level Jackrabbit program or proof of equivalent skill level. An emphasis of the program is to encourage children to enjoy skiing as a lifelong activity.

***Coaches require a parent to come along with the group to help out when needed.

NORDIC RACERS

Not Available 2024/25 season

Ages 10-13 years old

The Track Attack Nordic Racers Program is for those keen skiers who wish to improve their skiing technique, do some racing, and do more training. Participants will learn techniques of cross-country skiing through games and structured coaching. Sessions are a mix of tempo skiing, skill development, and games. Most Track Attacks come through our 4 level Jackrabbit program before entering this program. However we do welcome new participants who are motivated. Skiers are introduced to racing, waxing, and training concepts. This program includes coach-supported races throughout the season.

*** At this age/level the kids should be on WAX classic skis.
*** Coaches require a parent to come along with the group to help out when needed. 

Cold Weather Cancellation is -15C. Cancellations will be announced via email and social media the night before or at the latest by 8 am before programs begin. Each season there are usually one or two session cancelled due to the cold.

Seasonal Youth Equipment Rental Program

ONLY AVAILABLE for those registered in the youth programs: Bunnyrabbits, Jackrabbits, or Track Attack.

The Golden Nordic Ski Club has a rental package (skis, boots, and poles) available for youth program participants. If your child is not in a youth program with our club, they do not qualify for this seasonal rental option.

There are a few options to chose from. Please read carefully.

The Take-Home Program - $80

There are only 30 spots for this option. These spots are for participants who want to take the equipment home and ski outside of their youth program sessions as well. They get to enjoy and take care of the club's rental equipment for the entire season. Upgrading sizes is possible anytime during the season. Pick up date & times will be emailed. Please sign up on Zone4 for this option. Online registration opens on October 15, 2024. Heads up: this option books up quickly!

The Leave-at-Chalet Program

Missed the first 30 spots? Or, prefer to rent only for when your child is in their program session with their coach? Please don't sign up here on Zone4. Please note that equipment may not be available in your child's size. Email the program coordinator at programccoordinator@goldennordicclub.ca to check availability and for further arrangements. Payment via e-transfer or in person with Chalet staff during opening hours.

Jackrabbits and Track Attack participants: $80 for 12 sessions of 1.5 hours each and the Huckleberry Loppet (Feb 8 - 9, 2025).

Renters in all programs will need to complete a youth program seasonal rental form in person that includes a credit card damage deposit.
