Cross Country Skiing Programs & Lessons
Take your skiing to the next level. We offer a range of lessons & formats to suit everyone’s needs, taught by instructors certified by the Canadian Association of Nordic Ski Instructors (CANSI).
We will make every effort to accommodate unscheduled lessons, but it is completely dependent on having staff available. 24 to 48 hours advanced booking is usually sufficient.
Lesson prices do not included rentals or trail fees. Lesson dates are subject to weather and sufficient registrants.
