From learning to cross country ski to race coaching and participating in the Ramsau Tour de Ski races, this Club trip offers options for all levels of Nordic skier and there are just a few places left.

Club recommended cross country ski weeks in Norway

If you're looking for cross country skiing weeks in Norway here are two holidays in March 2022 that the we recommend - Dalseter from 5-12/3 and Snowsport England's Nordic skills week at Nordseter from 20-27/3. 

Register your interest as soon as possible, and for the Snowsport England week before the end of November.

Results from our first classic time trial & next event

You can see results from our first classic 2 lap time trial that was held at Sunday's Club session - well done to Szymon Orlowski who again recorded the fastest time. 

Our next Club session is on 7 November and will include a classic time trial that will be run anti-clockwise - will this affect the results or do wind direction and speed have a bigger influence?  These time trials are fun races that give participants a record of their progress [hopefully says the writer!] and practice at racing, much like Parkrun but with an individual start.  Book your place now.

Book your place[s] at the Annual Club dinner - Saturday 27 November
