Description
The 10-Week Classic + Skate Ski Program meets twice a week for ten weeks, focusing on both classic and skate ski technique (classic and skate equipment needed to participate in these sessions). Participants must attend one of our 3-week Beginner Clinics for bothe skate and classic before they register for the 10-week Winter Ski Programs, or have equivalent skill and experience with both disciplines. Novice to advanced skiers are split into ability and age-specific coaching groups, so that each participant is challenged appropriately.

In Trail Kids the focus is on developing skills, having fun, and falling in love with a lifetime sport!
