LIKE TO JUMP? NEW THIS 2011-12 SEASON! Nordic Combined and Jumping

Starting this winter, Jr. Nordic skiers will have the option of skiing for 2 evenings and jumping on Thursday evening and Saturday morning.  We have coaches, new equipment and a newly refurbished jump facility so we can offer kids the opportunity to try out Nordic Combined – which is skiing and jumping!  To register, click on the “register online” link at the upper left.  For more info on Nordic Combined and Jumping, go to the link at the NSAA website: www.anchoragenordicski.com/Programs/jumping.htm

GENERAL INFORMATION

Anchorage Junior Nordic League is a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching Anchorage kids the lifelong sport of cross-country skiing. We are a parent-run group affiliated with the Nordic Ski Association of Anchorage (NSAA).

Lessons are for kids ages 6 to 14 and we meet at three sites in town: Hillside Park, Kincaid Park and Russian Jack Springs Park. All groups ski three days a week:  2 weeknights and Saturday.  Our first session starts in November and our second session begins in January. We have skis available for rental on a first come-first served basis.

Skiers must have their own poles and boots with NNN bindings. For more detailed information on scheduling, registration, and fees, go to Junior Nordic Info.
