The COC Training Team is responsible for providing educational sessions where members can learn about different aspects of the outdoors, specifically:

a) providing educational sessions to members
b) raising awareness about different aspects of the outdoors
c) increasing the members' safety while enjoying their activities in the mountains
d) providing everyone the opportunity to ask pertinent questions.

Your COC Training Committee is offering:

Free skiing lessons for all levels of skiers. Skiing technique used - Canadian Ski Instructors Alliance (CSIA) Fast Track to Parallel

If you are a ski instructor, please come out and help.

If you are a beginner, we'll help you get started and help you to love the sport.

If you are intermediate, we'll help you improve your skills and progress from Stem Christie to perfect parallel.

If you are advanced, you can still benefit from some pointers and improve your skills.

If you just want to tag along for a ride to Norquay and not be part of the lesson, that's fine too.

If you want to learn how to become an Event Coordinator for COC, we can enlighten you.

In case you were wondering who will be teaching, it will be Noel Sam, Lorrie Wazny and Brenda Moore for this event.
