REGISTRATION

All class participants MUST become members of ENSC. For information on how to join the club, click here.

INSTRUCTORS

All ENSC instructors are club members, and are trained & certified by the Canadian Association of Nordic Ski Instructors (CANSI).

LOCATION

All courses run out of Gold Bar Park Pavilion, just south of the river and east of 50th Street. Enter from 50th Street and just north of 109A Avenue. Continue past the sewage treatment plant to the car park. From here you walk east towards the lake to the pavilion where we meet.

EQUIPMENT

Students need to have their own equipment. Some of the specialty stores where you can find this are: Campers Village, Fast Trax Run and X-Country Ski Shop, Pedalhead Bicycle Works,Totem Outdoor Outfitters ( new and used equipment) and Track ‘n Trail. If you are already an ENSC member you can ask for a discount at some of these stores. Have your membership receipt with you! Here is a link to an Adobe Acrobat document listing most of the retail outlets in the Edmonton area.

Some people ask about renting equipment. You can inquire at Totem and Mountain Equipment Co-op, but my experience is that it is not worthwhile unless you plan on it for just a few days.
