Starting last year the Selkirk Nordic Ski Education Foundation (SNSEF) offers a Nordic Teens program as an extension of its Nordic Kids program. Nordic Teens will offer more opportunities to ski better, farther, and faster, to be of service to the skiing community, and to play and explore outdoors in the winter with friends.   Nordic Teens groups will offer more skiing at higher levels in the mornings and longer distance skiing, Nordic Kids coaching or free time in the snow in the afternoon.  Registration fees will be the same as for Nordic Kids, but we will need parent participation, and there may be extra expenses for special trips. Details will evolve as the season progresses.   Expect some experimentation, since this will be the second year of Nordic Teens. Contact Mark Bitz at 255-9456 or Art Bookstrom at 624-9667 with questions. Click here for a registration packet.
