This year, we are hosting out volunteer program in conjunction with Alpine Ski Cross as our events overlap and we will be sharing the race course with them at Nakiska. To sign up as a volunteer, visit www.AlpineCanada.org/forms/Volunteer. Make sure to check the correct event listed towards the bottom of the page and labeled as the Sport Chek Ski Cross Championships.

Nakiska is nestled in the heart of the Canadian Rockies in picturesque Kananaskis Country, only 45 minutes from the vibrant city of Calgary. Nakiska was home to the Calgary '88 Olympic Alpine events, and today, skiers and riders enjoy Olympic-length runs that are groomed to perfection. Nakiska is a family-friendly resort. A secure beginner's area with friendly ski school staff means the kids can enjoy lessons for the day while more advance snow-lovers explore Nakiska's challenging upper mountain.

By following the guidelines of the North American leading NSAA (National Ski Area Association) Sustainable Slopes Program, Nakiska Ski Resort is able to provide the level of care for the environment that matches both our corporate vision and core team commitment. Some of their continual efforts as a part of their commitment to the environment include water and energy conservation.
