In addition to positive health benefits, cross country skiing provides an informal opportunity to socialize and to explore new trails. For this course, students need to have a basic familiarity with classic (a.k.a. diagonal-stride) technique, the ability to move over flat terrain, and comfortably ski down gentle hills. Those who participated in previous OLLI ski classes and others who are at this skill level are welcome to join this class. Our focus will be upon improving technique, as well as learning more about equipment and basic ski waxing. Enrollment limited to 12.
Instructor Sven Grage is looking forward to spending time with students on the trails and loves to teach others about cross country skiing.
