*Dates TBA; estimated late February.
*This course will be held offsite at the Birch Hill ski trails.
This class is for skiers who have had little to no formal instruction in skate skiing OR are trying to improve and up their game a bit. Ideally, participants in this class have experience in classic skiing, however, this is not a requirement. The goal is to learn additional techniques on varied terrain so you can be more confident and efficient on any trail. Enrollment is limited to 12.
Instructor Sven Grage is looking forward to spending time with students on the trails and loves teaching others about cross-country skiing.
