Join us for a trip to Waterville Valley Resort for a day of cross-country skiing!
If you've watched the Olympics and thought to yourself "WOW! How do they go that fast?" or "OMG I want to be like them!" this trip is for you! On this trip you will learn the marvels and techniques that make the Olympians so darn fast. You will learn how to skate ski!
This is not your average walk-on-long-sticks classic ski, skate skiing adds in the ice skating motion and enables you to go really fast!
There is a cost that comes with the speed, as the groomed trails and skiing at Waterville will cost $21 for a trail pass and $23 for ski, boot and pole rental.
We can't wait to ski how much you love skate skiing!
