PRE-SALE PRICE: 10% OFF UNTIL DECEMBER 15 // The Québec Cross-Country Ski Club will take place on the magnificent trails of the Centre Castor. The 5-week program is designed for both beginner cross-country skiers who want to learn the basics and intermediate skiers who want to improve their technique. The 1.5-hour sessions are dedicated to teaching classic or skate cross-country skiing techniques, depending on your preferred style. The goal is to learn, review the basics of cross-country skiing, improve your skills, and have fun!
We want to make this clear: this is neither a training session nor a long-distance run! 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 at Centre Castor. Equipment rentals are available for an additional fee. This is the club for you if you want to get active, meet new people, and learn proper cross-country skiing technique.
Monday evenings for 5 weeks: January 11, January 18, January 25, February 1, and February 8.
Please arrive early so you have time to get ready and be ready to start the session at 6:30 p.m.
