Rocky Mountain Seniors Cross-Country Skiing 

The Rocky Mountain Seniors (RMS) introduced cross-country skiing into its activities in 2020. Now more than three hundred skiers participate annually.

Cross-country skiing is organized in a weekly group format. Members volunteer to organize and lead groups of skiers at the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. The different groups meet up on their chosen days, times and locations. Groups ski at a variety of parks/trails in the Edmonton area, such as Strathcona Wilderness Centre, Gold Bar Park, and Victoria, Riverside and Broadmoor golf courses.

Members provide their own equipment. There are a few places in the Edmonton area that rent cross-country ski equipment, such as Totem Sports Shop and the Strathcona Wilderness Centre. Watch for the Edmonton Nordic Ski Club equipment swap, usually in November, if you would like to purchase used equipment.

To join a group, you must be a Club member. The RMS membership year is November 1 – October 31. For New Members who join in September or October your membership fee rolls forward into the next membership year. Once you are a member you can participate in all club activities.

All skiers including guests must confirm the Waiver of Liability and follow the Club’s skiing etiquette. Members and guests ski at their own risk.
