Overview

Learn a new style of skiing

Skate skiing is a winter sport where you propel yourself across snow by pushing your skis out to the sides in a V-shape, similar to ice skating. Poles help you move faster and maintain rhythm, making it a smooth, flowing, and energetic way to glide over groomed trails.

Our Level 1 Skate Ski Lesson is designed for complete beginners! You’ll learn the basic skating motion, how to balance on your skis, and how to use poles to move smoothly across flat, groomed terrain.

Highlights:
⭐ Instructed by CANSI-certified coaches
⭐ Learn a fun and new sport
⭐ Get inspired to explore more
