Adult Programming

Adult skiing at the Regina Ski Club is about confidence, efficiency, fitness, and enjoyment—whether you are new to skiing, returning to skiing, refining technique.

Our adult programming is designed for skiers who want practical, instructor-guided feedback to help them ski better in both classic and/or skate.

Alpine Adaptive Ski Program

We believe that all people have an equal right to enjoy skiing regardless of ability. The Regina Alpine Adaptive Ski Program enables people with physical disabilities to participate in alpine (downhill) skiing. We have adaptive ski equipment and coaching techniques for a wide variety of disabilities. The program each year included six weekly training lessons as well as opportunities for events in the mountains and an annual CADS Festival. In addition, we sponsor an annual SaskTel Challenge Cup. This is a fun fund-raising event which features corporate teams, each paired with one of our Alpine Adaptive skiers.

Alpine (downhill) Racing

The Regina Alpine Race Team (RART) is an affiliate of the Regina Ski Club. It offers an introduction to race through its Nancy Greene program for skiers ages 5 -13 and a competitive race program for youth ages 10 -18.

Biathlon

As its name implies, biathlon is a dual sport, combining nordic skiing with target shooting. Anyone over the age of eight may participate. Biathlon Regina partners with other organizations to train its members via dryland skiing using rollerblades, skate ski training on trails maintained by the Regina Ski Club, and shooting at the Regina Wildlife Federation shooting range.

Bunnies & Jackrabbits

Jackrabbits, developed by Cross Country Canada to introduce children to nordic skiing, uses lessons and games to teach skills. Awards for skills improvement and for reaching speed and distance goals inspire kids to progress. Parents are encouraged to ski with the kids to promote family fun. There are separate classes for Bunnyrabbits, ages 3 to 5, and Jackrabbits, ages 6 to 10. Most lessons take place in Regina.

Frozen Prairie Race Series

A flexible, community-driven Nordic ski race and social series. Weekly formats, changing venues, and a strong social focus. Updates, results, and stories are shared through a dedicated Facebook group.

Nordic Adventure Ski (11+)

The Nordic Adventure Program is for 11 to 17 years old who want to be active, have fun and enjoy the outdoors. Our ski outings are focused on fun, fitness and building endurance.

Nordic Race Team

The Nordic Racing program is designed for skiers age 12 and older who are interested in training and competition in cross country skiing. It is a year round program focused on developing physical conditioning and skiing technique in a training and racing environment. It is for youth who are enthusiastic about ski training with the option of competitive Nordic racing, at both in-province and out-of-province races, as well as special events and camps held throughout the year.

Track Attack

The Track Attack program is designed for skiers who are transitioning from the Jackrabbits Programs to the Nordic Race Team. The focus of the program is to help participants become more technically proficient cross-country skiers and use their skills to explore a wide range of ski activities. This program is for youth committed to improving their skiing and fitness and who want an introduction to training and racing within the province.

Alpine Trips

The Regina Ski Club usually conducts two or three multi-day downhill ski trips to the mountains during the ski season. These trips may be Alpine only, but often are Alpine and Nordic combined. See the Alpine Trips Calendar for details.

Nordic Trips

The Regina Ski Club also conducts several cross-country ski trips every winter. All are bus trips to nordic ski trails in Saskatchewan and neighbouring provinces. Many are day trips, but some are weekend trips, and at least one trip to the Rockies is longer. See the Nordic Trips Calendar for details.

Skiers on Regina Ski Club bus trips are known for being friendly and welcoming to new skiers. New skiers will make friends and can get advice on waxes, technique and ski trails most appropriate to their skill level.  The bus trip is part of the fun. New skiers are welcome.
