Cross-country ski clubs bring “outdoor-minded” people together. Nova Scotia clubs maintain expertly groomed and marked trails. Clubs also host social events, races, pop-up races, pop-up instruction sessions, and offer programs for all ages and experience levels. Additional activities may include: roller-skiing, nordic walking, snowshoeing, weekly social skis, and group trips. Connect with new and old friends at your local club this winter.
