Adult Cross Country Ski Group
Back by popular demand! Responding to requests for cross country group sessions for adults, the goal of this program is to bring together cross country skiers for fun, fitness, skill development, and to build community around this lifelong sport. All levels are welcome, whether you are hoping to pick up some basic tips, a cyclist using skiing to build fitness through the winter, or an experienced competitor looking for training to prepare for your next Birkebeiner. Each session will contain a technical skill focus, practice time, and coach feedback. There will also be an intensity component offered each session for those interested in building or maintaining ski fitness. The coaching lineup will include experienced SSWSC coaches plus guest coaches from our community.
