JACKRABBITS
What: The Jackrabbit program involves cross country ski lessons aimed at school-age children and their parents. Its main objective is to pass on ski fundamentals within a framework of fun and games. We start with hikes and bike trips until the snow is on the ground. After that, you will usually finds us on the golf course. Most sessions are aimed at ski techniques, including downhill survival and six different skate-ski methods. Other sessions include tours, time trials and special events.

Participation in racing is optional, although one of our aims is to promote racing and increase our club’s visibility on the Manitoba racing circuit. The Ski Team is run by Peter Vilks for junior and adult skiers interested in improving both their skiing and waxing technique, and their level of fitness. Competitive skiing is an optional goal.
