Hills, Hills, Hills: Mastering Hills on XC Skis
One-Day Class

A one-day intensive version of our multiweek Hills, Hills, Hills: Mastering Hills on XC Skis class for experienced XC skiers who want to improve their XC ski techinque on Hills but are unable to take our multi-week class.

By day's end you'll be confidently schussing downhill in grace and style.
