Post Learn to Skiers, Ability Level 2-4

Details:

Purchase one block at a time or join us for the winter! Looking for consistency and a group to ski with? Coached sessions with technique drills and a workout. Great for those who have learned some basics, and want to progress their technique.

The Adult Training Group is organized into four-week training blocks that each focus on a specific stage of skill and fitness development. 

Each four-week period is followed by a one-week break between sessions. These breaks align with the holiday season and create built-in opportunities to reschedule sessions if weather, trail conditions, or other unforeseen circumstances require a cancellation.

Participants are welcome to register for individual sessions that match their goals or complete the entire series for a progressive learning experience. Each four-week block builds on the previous one, but every session is designed to provide valuable instruction and a rewarding experience on its own.
