Peggy's Manual
from our archives
Below are the pages from a manual of basic classic techniques prepared by one of our members in the 1990's. The author, Peggy Walker, is a very experienced skier who once skied with the legendary Jackrabbit Johannsen, the man who did much to popularize Nordic skiing in Canada. He was still skiing at age 110, something to aspire to!
The manual includes a map showing potential routes in Centennial Park that could be used to practice Nordic skiing when conditions allow. Members used to arrange to meet there to ski together and to practice their technique.
