Skiing
Parks and Recreation offers a variety of cross-country ski and skate-ski lessons designed for the beginner to the intermediate skier, adult or child.
Lesson registration for all ski classes is on-going, beginning August 30 at the following sites:
Students must provide their own ski equipment. Adult lessons have a minimum of 8 students and a maximum of 12. Children’s lessons have a minimum of 6 students and a maximum of 10.
Cross Country Ski classes will be canceled when weather conditions warrant or if there are not enough students registered. Refunds will only be made when we cancel a class. Anyone who misses a class may ask to be transferred to another class if space is available.
We are looking for Ski Coaches. Interested in making some extra money? If so, download the application form and send it in to us.
