The track attack program is aimed at children ages 10 through 15. The program is designed for skiers in the learning to train stage of cross country ski development.

Youth are trained to become technically competent cross country skiers. In learning these skills, skiers are encouraged to explore a wide range of cross country ski activities varying from backcountry ski trips to skiing tournaments. Also, youth actively participate in games and activities, become part of a team with other children in the same age group, develop their overall sports skills, and have fun!

Track attach lessons are held at the Doug Barnes Cabin on Saturdays at 11am. The program starts in January and runs for 8 weeks.

For insurance reasons, students must become a member of the Ptarmigan Nordic Ski Club. Youth membership fees are $15 for the year (or $40 for the entire family). Track attack program fees are an additional $15 per child, which covers 8 lessons.

Track attack (Youth) registration forms can be downloaded by clicking the link on the bottom of this page. You can mail your membership form to the ski club's postal address.

The PNSC has skis available for track attack students to use during the season. There is a $50 deposit for the skis, which is returned at the end of the season when the skis are returned. This includes skis, boots and poles.

Parents are expected to help with clothes and equipment, joining in classes and games, and arranging refreshments. Parents are also encouraged to become certified instructors by taking the training courses arranged by the Ski Club.
