Monday Mornings, Women Only, Six-Week Session, Level 1-2 Skate
ARE YOU WANTING TO BUILD YOUR DISTANCE SKATE SKIING? Are you training for a loppet or a personal goal?
If you are a woman into skate skiing and would like to add regular trips up Clearwater to your repertoire, now is your chance to do so in a committed, positive and supported environment. Monday mornings for 6 weeks from 9 am. We will start with a 15 km distance and build up to 30 km by the end of January (we will take until noon or later that day). We will primarily use Clearwater trail while exploring ski tips for climbing, pacing, double poling and one skate. There will be a pre-determined route for each ski session and the aim is to find a partner or two with a similar pace that you can ski with and make some new connections!
