Adult Group Lessons
Just learning to cross country ski, need a tune up on your technique, or just want to feel more comfortable on different terrain and become more proficient at skiing? Join our instructors for one of our group adult lesson series in classic or skate skiing at various ability levels.
Qualified Nordic ski instructors will teach up to eight students per course in Classic Ski or Skate Ski techniques. Using an inclusive and student-centred approach, instructors will teach the principals of balance, coordination, propulsion and direction change on flat to uphill terrain. You will receive many tips and exercises to advance quicker while having fun.
Minimum class size is 4 people in order to run the sessions.
Don’t have Classic or Skate skis and boots? No problem, our friends at Gerick Cycle and Ski will give you a fair deal on your rental package for your lessons when you rent Nordic skis and boots from them.
