Revelstoke Ski Club Nancy Greene Program

This is a one day/week program for skiers aged 6 to 11 on Sundays between 9.30am and 2.30pm.  Our season generally runs from the beginning of Jan for ten weeks depending on skiing conditions.

 For first timers who require a shorter day (6-7 yr olds) an optional half-day can be offered if numbers permit.

What is the ALCAN Nancy Greene Ski League? (ANGSL)

The ANGSL is the FUNdamental stage in ski development.   The philosophy is to promote FUN, SAFETY, SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND FAIR PLAY.  Children will be introduced to basic skiing techniques and skills in small groups and in as many different snow conditions as possible.  Most importantly, it promotes having fun on skis.

Skiers progress through the “Snow Stars” program - a seven step skills progression program in ski development for children at this age level.  It encourages the development of skiers and ski racers of all ability levels

How good do skiers need to be?

If children can manage the chair lift by themselves and can ski (snow plow) “Sunshine” from the top they can join in the fun!  For small children who can ski, but require assistance on and off the lift, we welcome parents to accompany them.

Who will be coaching?

Our coaches have a minimum of level 1 certification by the Canadian Ski Coaching Federation.  Periodically we are able to offer a level 1 certification here in Revelstoke for parents interested in coaching.

Do skiers have to race?

Although races at this level are designed to be fun, there is no pressure to attend races.  We do hold one race per year in Revelstoke that our children can participate in.  There will always be coaching as usual at Revelstoke on race days.

How much time must parents commit?

Our ski club programs could not run without the efforts of its parents and fundraising.  Fundraising helps to keep our programs as affordable as possible to local parents.  One of the more successful fund raisers is hosting races, which require a lot of volunteer officials to run them safely and fairly for all competitors.  This is why all parents are asked to assist in hosting these events.

Extra training opportunities.

In the past there have been opportunities for keen skiers aged 9 to 11 years (E2 level) to participate in extra training on Saturdays and during a “December camp”.  Contact Prue Hicks for details.

Consideration is being made for a December camp for 5-8 year olds. Please contact Prue Hicks if interested.
