The Council offers a variety of programs for nordic or cross-country skiing.

For first-time skiers, or for those looking for an opportunity to just get out and ski with friends, the Nordic Recreation program offers a fun hour once a week on easy trails at Garipay Field. Parent volunteers ski with small groups of children from grades K to 8.

For those wanting to improve their technique, the Bill Koch League Nordic Racing Program offers coaching for skiers in Grades 1 to 8.  The program varies from one day a week for the youngest skiers, to three days a week for the older ones. While some skiers participate in races, there is no requirement to do so. The goal is to learn and improve skills while having fun. This group usually meets at Oak Hill.

For older skiers aged 14 to 19, the Junior Racing program offers a more intensive supplement to the local high school programs. Enrollment is limited to 15 skiers.
