Ready to learn to ski or brush up on your skills?
Join us for a fun and supportive four-week series of cross-country ski lessons at Hidden Valley Nature Center this winter!
Dates: Sundays, January 11, 18, 25 & February 1
Cost: $40 per person for the full four-lesson series
Ages: All ages welcome – groups will be divided by age and ability
Learn the fundamentals of cross-country skiing, including:
Getting up after a fall
Balancing and gliding on skis
Climbing and descending hills
Turning safely
Using poles effectively
Lessons meet at Hidden Valley’s barn, about a ⅓-mile walk from the parking lot. Please plan to arrive early enough to make your way in. If you or your children are new to skiing, consider carrying or sledding your skis to save energy for the lesson.
Dress warmly and bring water. Feel free to bring baked goods, fire foods, or warm drinks to share around the fire after lessons!
