Sunday February 5th, 2023 | Concord Community Nordic Trails at Beaver Meadow Golf Course

Never been on cross-country skis before but curious to try? We’d love to see you at Beaver Meadow Golf Course on February 5th for a free Learn-to-Ski clinic! Equipment loans are included. Cross-country skiing is a fun way to get outside and enjoy winter right in your own backyard or at your local community ski center. These Learn-to-Ski clinics are geared towards people 6 years of age and older of all backgrounds and identities who have never been on cross-country skis before. We aim to create a welcoming, inclusive, and safe environment for people to try a new sport and discover the joy of gliding on snow. We ask that anyone under 14 years of age has a parent/caregiver with them participating or supervising.

Registration: For equipment-fitting purposes it is helpful if you register ahead of time online HERE although day-of drop-ins are more than welcome and we will do our best to accommodate everyone with equipment.

Clinic Details: Clinics will be led by teachers and coaches who are experienced in working with people new to skiing. We ask that folx only attend one clinic so we can accommodate as many people as possible unless there is enough equipment to meet everyone’s needs. Clinics will cover classic cross-country skiing basics including skiing on flat terrain, getting up from a fall, climbing, and navigating downhills.

Additional Offerings: Visit the Ski Expo where equipment suppliers and outfitters from the ski industry will be on hand with goods to try. We will also be raffling off some fun items after each ski clinic from our NENSA sponsors. Lastly, visit The 19th Hole Bar at Beaver Meadow in the clubhouse for food offerings.

Be Prepared: Read about what to wear to stay warm and comfortable HERE. Indoor bathrooms are available in the Beaver Meadow Clubhouse.
