*Ski Levels description: 

Beginner: 

I have never skied before, and I am not comfortable on flats, gentle hills, or stopping. I do not know the difference between classic and skate skiing. This is the perfect place to learn! 
or
I have skied before, recreationally or in a lesson (alpine or Nordic). I am comfortable on flats, and gentle hills, and can stop safely. I know the difference between classic and skate skiing, and the basics of one or both. I am not sure how far I can ski. 

We highly recommend the BEGINNER CLASSIC lesson for all new to the sport.
 

Low Intermediate: 

I have skied for several seasons but would like to ski more efficiently. I am comfortable on varied terrain and moderate hills. I can ski at different speeds, stop safely, and make snowplow turns.

I know the difference between and can perform some classic techniques (diagonal stride, double pole, step double pole) and/or skate techniques (1-skate, 2-skate, offset). 


If you are not sure, “level down”!
