Description

Learn how much fun cross country skiing can be in a low key, social setting. Meet some new like minded people, learn a new skill. Have some fun in the snow…..we live in it, might as well learn to enjoy it!

This 2 hour classic technique class begins with 30 minutes of instruction and equipment fitting followed by one hour of on-snow instruction, where you learn how to get up from a fall, proper pole placement, different ski techniques such as poling and striding, how to engage the ski with the snow, and how to slow down or stop. The remainder of the class time is for you to practice what you learned. We will ski at Nelson Lake Forest Preserve, with location of the skiing subject to change due to conditions.

The price for this Cross Country experience is $40 and includes skis, boots, poles, and a $5 Rocktown Gift Certificate, $20 if you have your own skis. Call 630-506-5706, send us an email to info@rocktownadventures.com, or sign up below to reserve your spot. If you sign up online and are renting equipment, please include your height, weight, and shoe size in the notes section. Class size is limited to 12 so don’t delay.

We need a minimum of 3 participants and the cooperation of Mother Nature to be able to Gear Up and Head Out in the snow. In the event we need to cancel we will make a decision 24 hours in advance. We will post on our website and Facebook, and contact all participants.
