Rentals and Demos
Hot box your skis at the Nordic Center!
We have a fabulous Ski & Snowboard Sauna hot box! Waxing with a hot box treatment penetrates deeper into your ski bases and provides a more durable finish than ironing alone. (See below for details.)
Cross Country Skiing is divided into two styles: Classic (a.k.a. Diagonal Stride) and Skate (a.k.a. Freestyle). Classic skiing is an excellent introduction to Cross Country: easy to learn, the skier glides straight ahead in parallel tracks. Skate skiing, which is great for those who seek an aerobic workout, has a motion similar to roller-blading or ice-skating. If you have never skate-skied before, we highly recommend taking a lesson - you'll get the skills and information needed to quickly build a sense of success. Whether you prefer Skate or Classic, we have up-to-date equipment for your enjoyment!
