JUNIOR PROGRAM
Ski School: 385-288-0892
Registration is Open!
We are again offering lessons for children who would like to learn to ski or to improve their nordic skiing technique. Children ages 8-18 of all abilities are welcome, from beginners who have never skied through advanced skiers. The Junior Program aims to get kids out on the snow, develop skills and gain confidence to make skiing winter trails fun and inviting.
CLASS OPTIONS

Six Week session: Wednesdays January 7th to February 11th
2:30 pm - 3:45 pm

Fun Race: Saturday February 14th
All classes are open to children age 8-18 except as noted above. Students must be age 8 by 12/31/2025. Lessons are structured such that skiers are paired with others based on age and ability. Advanced skiers may take one or both sessions.
We start beginner and intermediate students with classic technique as it builds balance and timing skills, but all skiers will have the opportunity to experience both classic and skate technique during the winter’s classes.
There is no private instruction. If needed, Ogden Nordic Ski School lessons provide more individual instruction.
Parental help is required for the success of our program. Please consider helping, especially if you have a child involved with this program.
