Book a private session and you'll get this entire experience all to yourself--and up to three additional friends or family members. You'll enjoy more one-on-one time with the guide/instructor, more flexibility throughout the session, and a more personal experience for everyone who joins you. Price covers all costs for up to 4 people. Build your skills, then hit the trails! If you are new to nordic skiing, we will introduce you to the art of classic or skate technique--you decide! Most people begin with classic technique. We will cover stopping, turning, gliding, and proper form during a learning session. Then we will head out on the trails to apply these skills, leaning how to ascend and descend hills, and of course have some fun! All equipment provided.
