Free XC Ski Lessons

Skiing is fun and great exercise. Proper technique is easy to learn and loads of fun with a little guidance and great attitude. Buffalo Nordic offers ski lessons to members weekly (if we have snow) on Sunday mornings.

The lesson will focus on clothing choices, use of equipment, ski technique, and questions of student interest. Student must provide their own equipment for the lessons.

To find out more information on the lesson time(s) and location(s) you must become a member or be invited by a member. Please see membership information or come to monthly meetings. See you on the trails!
