Nordic Master at the Star

Shane Landreville has reached an elite level in cross country skiing.

Landreville is now a Nordic Master, one of only five people in Canada to achieve this designation.

After a gruelling four-day course and two full days of exams, SilverStar's Nordic manager completed the Level 4 CANSI instructors certification, making him a Nordic Master.

Level 4 is the highest level of instructor certification one can achieve and Level 4 instructors are tested on their skiing ability in skate, classic and downhill maneuvers, their teaching (both pedagogy and skill improvement sessions), as well as in their video analysis skills, level 1-2-3 marking and a presentation in a ski related area.

In 2016, Landreville also completed the CANSI Level III Telemark certification.

As a result of achieving both of these highest certifications in Nordic instruction, he is now considered a Master of Nordic.

SilverStar Mountain Resort now boasts three Nordic Masters including Guy Paulsen and Marie-Cat Bruno – the highest number of high level Nordic instructors in the country.
