The Foundations 4-week course is designed to take learners through the essentials of cross-country skiing, in either classic or skate style.

This course covers everything from downhill confidence: learning how to fall safely if needed, avoiding falls on downhills, turning, navigating every type of terrain, and skiing uphill and across flat sections with excellent technique & grace.

It's a perfect course for those new to cross-country skiing or seasoned skiers who have never had formal instruction.

We guarantee that you'll gain valuable skills that will enhance your skiing for a lifetime, even if you've been skiing for decades and are self-taught. If you have any questions about course suitability, please don't hesitate to contact Dasha.
