Athletes aged 5 and 6 as of December 31^st of the current season are eligible to register for this program.

• U6 - Athletes aged 5 as of December 31st of the current season.

Athletes must be able to ski in control (i.e. make turns and safely stop) on beginner/green terrain and should be able to ride the chairlift with minimal assistance. Athletes who are not able to get on and off the lift independently will require a parent to accompany them until the athlete is able to do so.

The Pre-Nancy Greene program runs 10 weeks (January – March) snow conditions permitting.

• Sundays (10 am - 1pm) at Laurentian Ski Hill

Laurentian Classic: This is our local U6-U12 race organized by our club at the Laurentian Ski Hill. Pre-Nancy Greene athletes may choose to participate in this race, and registration is included in your fees. For many of our young athletes, this is a highlight of the year for racers and even the most nervous of athletes tend to catch the racing bug after this event.

All athletes are required to be registered with Alpine Ontario Alpin (AOA) and Alpine Canada Alpin (ACA). Athletes are not permitted to participate in on-snow or dryland training until this fee has been paid.

Registration and payment are completed through SnowReg. Athletes must be registered in their corresponding age category. Athletes who are 6 years old as of January wishing to attend out-of-town races must select the 'traveling' membership.

Ski passes are not included in registration fees. Typically, Nancy Greene athletes will hold a season pass at their training site.

Alternatively, parents may choose to purchase a lift ticket for each training day or to purchase a multiday lift ticket pack.

Below is a brief description of what equipment is required and what is recommended.

If your athlete already has equipment, it is not always necessary to replace it. Our coaching staff can advise when your athlete has progressed to requiring race-specific equipment. Our club also hosts a ski equipment exchange every year in November and we would be happy to help you find equipment at this event.

• Helmets are required for all on-snow training. It is strongly recommended that all athletes wear a ski race-specific helmet with hard-ear guards.*
• For U6-U8 athletes
  • Only one pair of skis is required. 
  • Ski boots.
  • Set of poles

We require that all athletes comply with the ACA National Rules and Policies. Please see the current AOA Equipment Guidelines here.

*Note: A race helmet with hard-ear guards is required for races.

Volunteers are essential to the functioning of our club.

As a not-for-profit, parent-run organization, we rely on volunteers to keep our programming costs low and ensure our events run smoothly. Volunteering is a fantastic way for parents to connect and feel a part of the NBSRC community.

While there is no mandatory volunteer commitment, we require all parents to contribute throughout the year. There are numerous volunteer opportunities available, regardless of your skills, experience, or time availability.
