Ski School: Beginner-Beginner

Beginner-Beginner ski lessons-  Groomed trails (Rolled)

Lessons geared toward those with only 4-5 times on nordic skis.  Limited to 25 members.

Topics include skiing on the flat, easy uphill, moderate downhill, stopping, getting back up, and a discussion on gear.

What to Bring:

Appropriate ski equipment: 58-70 mm width skis.

Clothing to match all conditions.  Proper winter clothing for insulation and protection from wind, rain, and snow. Dress in layers. No cotton!  We will be working on skills so that means some standing around.  Chemical hand warmers are not a bad idea.

Water, snack/lunch.  Snacks and lunch are often eaten outside.  Bring food that can be easily eaten quickly in case it is cold.

Consider the Ten Essentials.

Number of students: 25

Note: Two sessions of this clinic are being offered.  Please enroll in only one.

Meeting time/place: The Grove at Northwest Crossing by 9:30 (earlier for coffee and chit-chat), to leave no later than 9:40.  We will sign waivers, organize, car pool, and drive to Swampy Lake Sno-Park. (Drivers will need sno-park permits.) Those taking a ride please help with gas.

The goal is to be at Swampy by 10:00 to 10:15.  The lessons will last 2-2 1/2 hours.
