Adult classic and skate ski lessons are offered as a series of three lessons or as a single lesson focusing on a particular technique on request. The three lesson series are a progression starting from the ground up and each lesson builds upon the last one. This will take a complete beginner from not knowing anything about cross country skiing to being comfortable skiing around a beginner loop and possibility a intermediate loop. These lessons are held in the evening from 7 to 8:30 skiing under the lights. It is recommended (but not a prerequisite) that a skier wanting to learn how to skate ski should go through the classic ski lessons.
Costs for the lessons are $60.00 for a club member ($75.00 non-member) for a group of three lessons. A single lesson is $20.00 for a member ($25.00 non-member). For anyone wanting to brush up on a particular technique or get one on one lessons please contact Ron threewatts@shaw.ca for a time, date, and cost.
Ski rentals are available for the evening sessions. Please come 20 min early to get outfitted. Check the ski rental page for pricing.
