THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO LACK OF SNOW
Are you interested in learning how to cross country ski this winter? Hartley Nature Center is offering several Intro to Classic Cross Country Skiing lessons in 2025. These one day (3hr) lessons cover the equipment, trail etiquette, and basic skills needed to ski the groomed classic ski trails of Hartley Park and beyond. Each lesson will consists of classroom time, indoor skills training, and outside skills practice. We’ll finish each lesson skiing on the beginner cross country ski trails in Hartley Park. This is a beginner level lesson, but cross country skiing can be a physically demanding activity (similar to running). Participants should have a moderate level of fitness, and enjoy spending time outside in the cold and snow. Plan to spend half our time inside, and half of it outside in the cold.
Age Requirement: Must be 15yrs old or older. Youth must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
Cost: $40* (Includes ski equipment rental). If cost is a barrier to participation, please reach out to us via phone or email to ask about scholarship opportunities. Registration is limited to 8 participants, so sign up early! Please note this lesson is on January 11th from 9am-12pm.
