New! Hot box your skis at the Nordic Center!
We just aquired a hot box from Ski & Snowboard Sauna! Hot boxing your skis penetrates deeper into the bases and provides an even 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!
