A great place to get started ×
Our club provides a supportive environment for beginner skiers, both by providing formal lessons and instruction and also because experienced members are always more than happy to help out with advice on cross country skiing technique and gear.
There's a lot to learn when you start skiing - everything from ski technique to snow chains. The supportive atmosphere of a club like Melbourne Nordic can make it much easier to get into skiing.
Meetings
Meet Skiers, Chat, Enjoy
Club meetings are held monthly from May to October, from 8:00 to 10.00 pm. Meetings usually include a speaker on a skiing - related topic. Topics include Ski equipment, Fitness, Weather and Climate, Member's overseas trips, etc. Members gather to hear guest speakers, video presentations, reports of ski activities and to book accommodation and ski trips. Meetings are informal, social and friendly occasions. New members are most welcome.
- Some members meet for dinner at a local eatery or hotel before the meetings.
- At the end of the season, there is an Awards night and Club Dinner.
- Members are also welcome to attend the monthly committee meetings.
If you're thinking about joining the Club, drop into a meeting and have a chat with some members.
