The week will start with the fundamental core technical areas of cross-country skiing, then progress the skills to develop a strong and well defined set of skills to increase skiing efficiency.  

Each day, there will be two training/instruction blocks.
  • Morning: Focuses on technical teaching, with an emphasis on correcting faults or working on key movement and techniques  
  • Afternoon Ski out on the trails and work on one or two key elements as we ski, this produces faster learning progress and gives you time to understand the methods that you have learned in the morning.
