The Nova Scotia ski team is a year-round program for able-bodied and para-nordic athletes. Our team objective is to build esprit de corps, develop friendships, and provide competitive learning opportunities and challenges. Under the leadership of our dedicated ski team Alumni, athletes gain experiences that prepare them for competitive skiing and life. Selection criteria and policies are located in our Document Centre.
About
This competitive program strives to create engaged young role models who are motivated for success at the national level, as well as inspire future generations of nationally competitive provincial ski teams. Athletes compete at regional, provincial, and national races. Our skiers can be recognized in Canada for their determined racing, as well as their enthusiastic team spirit. The program also includes multiple training camps held on snow and dryland. CCNS celebrates our athletes’ achievements by presenting Annual Awards.
Canada Winter Games
Nova Scotia skiers carry on the tradition of competing at the Canada Winter Games, which have been held every four years, since 1967. During this time, 120 skiers have represented Nova Scotia on 14 CWG teams. Learn more about our Alumni at the Games. We look forward to cheering on our Nova Scotia racers at the upcoming 2023 Games, hosted by Prince Edward Island.
