Basic Beginner XC Ski Clinic

New to cross-country skiing? Never skied before?  Or XC skied years ago or only a couple times in recent years? Never took a ski lesson or one a long time ago?  Still puzzled about moving effortless on XC skis on snow?

CONC is offering Basic Beginner Cross Country ski lessons for its members on groomed XC ski trails.  The primary goal is to get the novice or beginner skier comfortable XC skis and learn how to use them to glide over the snow.  By clinic’s conclusion the beginner skier will accomplish:

  • putting on and taking off skis and poles
  • developed a sense of basic balance, weight transfer and movement on XC skis
  •  introduced to diagonal striding and double poling
  • ski on flat to gentle terrain on groomed trails and tracks

By lesson’s end, you will have learned basic skills and gained confidence to ski trails using a basic diagonal stride in ease and comfort, adapting newly found knowledge to navigating easy up and downhills

Oh, did we mention.  Everyone falls down onto snow at some point—its a sure way of stopping.  We’ll show you how to get back up on your skis with minimal frustration.
