I have been a member of the Kimberley Nordic Club since the 1980s. After retiring I decided to take my learning to a new level and become an instructor. I love helping others become better skiers! Nordic skiing can be a lifelong activity and is good for us in so many ways.

After 30 years of teaching cross country skiing, I am still thrilled when a student conquers that “scary” hill, or goes further than ever before. I am a CANSI Level II instructor and have taught on lakes, golf courses, and bush roads and now at Kimberley Nordic Club.

I have been a CANSI Instructor since 2008 and taught at a number of ski clubs throughout BC prior to settling in Kimberley in 2012. I have taught with the Adult Ski Program, and teach dryland and strength training specific to cross country skiing. I love teaching all levels!

I love everything about cross-country skiing! I’ve been skiing and teaching for many years and I am a CANSI Level III instructor teaching both skate and classic technique at all levels. Kimberley is the place to be and the KNC is the place to learn how to ski!

I have been cross country skiing for most of my life, from the Rockies to the Alps to the Snowies. For me, there's nothing better than gliding over the snow, and I love to share that stoke with new skiers.

As a kid I learned to cross-country ski in the Gatineau Hills around Ottawa, back in the days of pine tar bases and three pin bindings. These days I enjoy training with the KNC Masters, competing in the occasional loppet, or just getting out for a long cruisy ski. I’m a level 2 CANSI instructor and I look forward to helping you find your flow, whether you’re just starting out or an accomplished skier looking to refine your technique.

Growing up in Canmore I started Nordic skiing from the age of 3 and have been teaching since 2006 in a variety of settings. I have coached and instructed all ages in Canmore, Calgary and here in Kimberley. I embrace the philosophy that "skiing is living" and love to share my passion for the sport with everyone I can.

​

I was born and raised in Kimberley and grew up alpine and Nordic skiing. As a cross country instructor of many years, I love seeing the improvement and progression of skiers. I am a CANSI Level II instructor and enjoy teaching all levels of skiers. See you on the trails! 

Nordic skiing is one of my passions and I love sharing this excitement with others. I am a CANSI Level III instructor, teaching both classic and skate techniques in the Adult Ski Program. I look forward to working with individuals and smaller groups to help people “kick it up a notch.”

I love to ski as much as I love to help others find joy in Nordic Skiing. KNC was a big draw for my family when we moved here several years ago. I believe the skills I acquired through work as an Occupational Therapist compliment my skills as an instructor.

I started coaching Jackrabbits in 1998, and I still love seeing people of all ages get comfortable on skis. To me, cross-country skiing is the best way to enjoy winter and is a true “Sport for Life.”

I started teaching Nordic skiing in 2010 and want to help others become confident skiers and gain a lifelong love of gliding on snow. I moved to Kimberley in 2016, and the Kimberley Nordic Club has become my second home!

I started my ski journey as a young teen in my hometown in Northern Ontario a “few”
decades ago. It was my love of various outdoor activities both summer and winter that eventually landed me in Kimberley. Upon retiring here, I quickly made KNC  my “second home” and our amazing ski trails and supportive ski community rekindled my passion for Nordic skiing. I was encouraged to complete my CANSI training and become an instructor and I am sure glad I did! I enjoy teaching skiers of all ages and stages and find that my background as a physiotherapist helps tremendously in my instructing. I love to see the smiles on new skiers faces when they actually start gliding on snow!

I first joined the Master’s program at KNC when I moved to Cranbrook in 2002, and I
have been hooked ever since! I took lessons for many years and then started instructing in 2017. I’m a level 2 CANSI instructor and love teaching all levels and learning from my students! Seeing all the happy faces and chatting with people on the trails is my favorite part of skiing.
