Adult Programming
We still have lots of room in our adult programming! We have three offerings this year:
Option 1 Starters : This group is for those who are new to cross country skiing. The goal of this group is to have you skiing with less effort and being able to safely navigate hills so you can experience more of the nordic trail systems we have here in our valley.
Option 2 Intermediate: This group is for those that have taken lessons, and are fairly confident on skis. You will learn more advanced techniques for navigating more challenging terrain and to increase speed. They may introduce skate skiing for those interested.
Option 3 Loppet Ready Lite: This group is for those who are keen on really racing those loppets. This is a group of fast skiers, looking for race specific techniques and drills to hone the skills
