LARCH HILLS NORDIC SOCIETY
Junior Ski Team
The Larch Hills Junior Ski Team is for young skiers who want to take their skiing to the next level while having fun, building confidence and being part of a team. Our programs offer a supportive environment where skiers can develop their technique, fitness and skills through a mix of training, games and time on the trails. Whether they’re interested in improving their skiing, challenging themselves in races or simply becoming a stronger and more confident skier, there’s a place for everyone on the Junior Ski Team.

Track Attack Program
This fun, active program runs from September through the ski season, offering 50–60 sessions at South Broadview School and Larch Hills. Volunteer coaches help young skiers build skills, strength, speed and fitness through games, challenges, fun events and ski adventures—all while building teamwork and confidence. Competition is introduced in a supportive way, with skiers encouraged to take part in local and regional races as they develop their skills.
U14 – U18+
Ski Team – Competitive
The Larch Hills Junior Race Team is committed to the growth and skill development of young racers. The race team is divided into training groups based on competency and age. Training is aimed toward team participation in competition. Athletes are encouraged to race, beginning with local events and moving toward regional and provincial competitions. (120-180 sessions) This program is coached by the LHNS head coach and volunteer coaches.
U12+
Ski Team – Recreation
The Rec Group is for U14–U18 skiers who love to ski but aren’t interested in competition. Sessions include both classic and skate skiing, technique development, games, longer outings and some backcountry adventures at Larch Hills. We also enjoy summer backpacking trips, explore other ski areas during the season, and typically wrap up with a ski trip to the Rockies.
