LRNSC - cross country skiing activities
Livigno [M Wray]
Our aim is to encourage members to cross country ski at all levels either on tracks or off-track, so London Region Nordic Ski Club offers:
Cross country skiing trips
In the last few years the Club went cross country skiing in Itay, Japan, Finland, Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic for:
- an early season training week with the opportunity to compete in La Sgambeda ski marathon in Livigno
- a week In Estonia and Finland taking in the Tartu and Finlandia ski marathons
- an early season training week in Ramsau, Austria
- Worldloppet trips to the Konig Ludwig Lauf in Germany and the Jizerska Padesatka in the Czech Republic
- a week's holiday in Akaslompolo in Finland
A Club member co-ordinates arrangements; for some trips you organise most of your own travel under their guidance, whilst others tap into holiday company resources. You get a value for money trip with keen skiers to different places around the nordic ski world.
See our Events 2011 section for the latest programme details.
Check out this video of the Club's trip to the Czech Republic by member, Kwasi Debrah.
Skiers network - find skiing friends
Sometimes members make their own ski-ing plans then want to find others to share them or to join up with at an event. You can use this website, the Club newsletter or events to tap into the member network.
For instance members met up at the Konig Ludwig ski marathon in Germany - they swapped information, made their own travel plans, travelled on different days, found their own accommodation [some stayed in the same hotel], indulged in cakes and wine, supported each other on the race days, and had a fun time.
Discover national cross country skiing activities
You'll find out about nordic events organised by other Snowsport England [SSE] clubs so you don't miss out on good cross country ski-ing activities. like the SSE nordic skills week in Norway.
LRNSC trips are also open to members of other SSE affilitated clubs.
See the Other Events section for more details.
Training for cross country skiing
Roller skiing is the best way to prepare for nordic skiing so we organise sessions where members can learn, practise or improve their skills.
If roller skiing's not for you then there's the option of cycling at some events and walks also feature on our programme.
See the Events section for more details.
