Cross country (XC) skiing
Join us for a scheduled 'Intro to XC' beginner lesson to pick up the basics you need to get out exploring effectively and safely. If you're coming over from downhill skiing, you may be surprised just how different XC techniques are. If you've never been on skis at all, we recommend booking an 'Absolute Beginner' private lesson.
