Special Olympics: For adults and children with intellectual disabilities.

 

About: Special O Nordic program is operated by Special Olympics BC, Kimberley/Cranbrook. Enrolment in the program is free of charge, however participants must purchase a season’s trail pass and have their own ski equipment. For those wishing to try the sport, equipment can be rented from the Nordic Centre. This program supports both recreational and competitive pathways with some athletes competing in regional, provincial, national and international Special O events. Friendship, fun and fitness, and nurturing a love of winter and skiing is our focus.

 

Fall Fitness and Fun: In preparation for skiing, the group meets in early September until the snow flies for pole walking and fitness activities that focus on coordination, agility and balance.

 

On-Snow: The group meets each Saturday from 10 a.m to 1130 a.m. Car pooling can be arranged for those athletes requiring transportation. The season starts when the Nordic Centre opens and finishes in late March.
