X-COUNTRY SKI IN THE ROCKIES -- Nipika Lodge is nestled in the BC Rockies, between Kootenay National Park and Mt. Assiniboine Provincial Park. Nipika boasts over 40 km of groomed trails, suitable for both classic and skate techniques. The scenery is spectacular, with mountains rising up on all sides, and the Kootenay River flowing swiftly through the valley. Join Nipika director (and x-c ski guru) Lyle Wilson and BF director Wendy Grater for 3 days of expert instruction and coaching, followed by participation in the fun ‘Nipika Loppet’ (varying distances and skill levels accommodated). Accommodation each night is in the comfortable lodge and includes delicious, home-cooked meals and great camaraderie.
