- Cross-country skiing is enjoyed by people of all ages and makes for great family time in the outdoors! The goal of the Kid's Learn to Ski program is to introduce children to cross country skiing as a lifelong sport. Fun and games are the major component of this skills development program, with children grouped by age and ability. Program registration limits in effect to maintain small group sizes. Parents are encouraged to ski along with their children. Parents are provided with ski's (dependent on inventory) if they ski with their kids. This is the perfect way to spend a Saturday morning with your kiddos.
- Children who participate in the program are eligible for our ski equipment package at $68.00 (2024-2025 season). Equipment is usually issued before Christmas and kids can keep it right through until the end of the season! Please note: rental equipment is not guaranteed as it is based on existing inventory and will be first come, first served. Equipment pickup dates will be sent out prior to the start of the first class. In the event that you have paid for rental equipment, and we are unable to fulfill your request, you will receive a refund for your rental fee.
