Réseau national accreditation
Ski de fond Québec aims to be the federation of the whole cross-country skiing community. It’s with this in mind that we created the Réseau national, to cater not only to skiers but also to site operators and managers. It is important to offer skiers a high-quality and safe experience in a uniform manner throughout the province. We therefore offer an additional accreditation component within the framework of the Réseau national, which assures skiers that accredited centres meet the minimum requirements established by the Federation. At the management level, Ski de fond Québec wants to capitalize on the collective knowledge and experience of our community by offering a program of benefits developed specifically for ski area managers.
