Our Mission

Welcome to Foothills Nordic Ski Club – Calgary’s Premier Ski Community!
Founded in 1964, Foothills Nordic Ski Club (FNSC) is a dynamic, not-for-profit organization dedicated to cross-country skiing and biathlon at all levels.

Our thriving club is powered by a dedicated 9-member Governance Board, a 9-member Operational Board, around 70 skilled coaches (paid and volunteer), and over 200 active volunteers. FNSC is also a leader in hosting major events and races in Calgary and the Bow Valley.
