Adult Learn To Ski
Adult Learn To Ski Program
Our on-snow ski instruction program, led by CANSI-certified instructors, is designed for adults looking to learn or improve their cross-country skiing skills.
Program Options:
Intro to Cross-Country Skiing – Perfect for beginners or those looking to build confidence. Have fun learning the fundamentals of classic skiing. Classic skis, boots and poles are required.
Technique Improvement – For those who have previously completed a learn to ski program, this class refines classic skiing skills for greater efficiency, and will introduce/develop skate skiing skills. One technique per practice will be offered, with a goal to do 50% of the classes in classic, and 50% in skate technique. Both classic and skate skis, boots, and poles are required.
Intro to Skate Skiing –Focuses exclusively on skate skiing. Prior classic skiing experience is recommended but not required. Skate skis, boots, and poles are required.
Note: Ski equipment is not provided—participants must bring their own skis, boots, and poles.
