PRE-SALE PRICE: 10% OFF UNTIL DECEMBER 15 // The Montreal Cross-Country Ski Club is back this season with a new format. This 5-week urban cross-country ski club is designed for both beginner and intermediate skiers. The 1.5-hour sessions take place on the trails of Maisonneuve Park and Mount Royal and focus on teaching classic cross-country skiing techniques. The goal is to learn, improve, and have fun on your cross-country skis!
We want to make this clear: this is neither a training session nor a long-distance ride! The evening sessions focus on learning technical skills to help you build confidence and improve your glide. Afterward, the group will put what they’ve learned into practice on the trails in Montreal’s ski parks. This is the club for you if you want to get active, meet new people, and learn proper cross-country skiing technique.
Thursday evenings for 5 weeks: January 14, January 21, January 28, February 4, and February 11
