Cross-Country Ski Lessons

We offer group cross-country ski lessons for adults and children. Take the complete package or brush up on specific skills. Lessons will help you stride into action on the trails this winter! Allow at least one week between lessons for practice. A driver’s license or photo ID for deposit is required for equipment rental. Participants may practice with the equipment after class if they have a Three Rivers Cross-country Ski Pass (required for skiers age 12 and older).

Private Lessons

Looking for more personalized instruction or a fun group activity? Arrange a private or semi-private lesson at your skill level in one of our parks! Classic and Skate techniques are offered at beginning through advanced levels. Rental equipment is available. Lessons are 1.5 hours at the following rates:
$65/one-on-one lesson; $38/person for group of 2; $28/person for group of 3 or more. Call 763.694.7718 to register.

Nordic Ski Club

If our lessons have gotten you hooked, why not join a Nordic Ski Club? Our Evening Ski Clubs at Elm Creek and Hyland offer a casual atmosphere for participants to ski together under the guidance of experienced instructors. Weekly sessions focus on technique improvement with light conditioning and plenty of time to just enjoy skiing with a group.

If you're an early riser, join our Morning Ski Club and explore the trails at Hyland under the guidance of a ski instructor. This club is geared towards both newer and intermediate classic skiers, but the opportunity to learn skate skiing will be offered as a part of the club later in the season.
