Lessons Offered Every Day

Cross Country Lessons start from the Nordic Lodge five times daily with the first at 9:00 am.  No reservations needed!  Choose a one-hour Group Lesson, or have the instructor all to yourself with a Private Lesson.  We also have multi-week performance clinics in skate and classic techniques, offered throughout the season.

Cross Country Skiing has branched out into two techniques or styles:  Classic (a.k.a. Diagonal Stride) where the skier glides straight-ahead in parallel tracks and Skate (a.k.a. Freestyle) which involves a motion similar to ice-skating or roller-blading.  Telemark is taught from Mt. Bachelor's Alpine side.

One-hour lessons are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.  Skiers are matched according to age and ability: from never-ever skied to advanced.  Great for ages six and up.  Lesson requires valid trail pass.
