From big races to Saturday morning group runs—find kids events and connect with the local endurance sports community.
The Trail Kids Ski Program - Session 1 offering meets twice a week for five weeks. The offerings will teach either skate or classic technique, so only one type of ski equipment is needed to participate. Beginner participants should attend one of our 3-Week Beginner Clinics before they register for a 5-Week Winter Ski Programs, or have equivalent skill and experience. Novice to advanced skiers are split into ability and age-specific coaching groups, so that each participant is challenged appropriately. Trail Kids sessions include technique drills, relays, games on skis, distance adventure skiing, and the opportunity to participate in a race event during their practice at no additional cost. In Trail Kids the focus is on developing skills, having fun, and falling in love with a lifetime sport!
