Fitness/Ability Requirements
We will require all participants to have some prior Nordic ski experience. Trip leaders will break into smaller groups, tailored to participants’ fitness/ability levels, for the daily ski adventures. The trip will focus on exploring the trails at Silver Star and Sovereign Lakes, with 20-30 minutes of daily instruction on classic and skate-ski technique.
Depending on their fitness and ability levels, participants can choose to ski either a shorter (10km) or a longer (20–30km) distance for each ski outing. Trip leaders will provide a variety of ski itineraries for all ability levels so everyone can enjoy the trails at their desired pace. Each day, the ski gondola lift ticket can be used twice, with your Nordic ski pass providing shortcuts to avoid long hill climbs. For more information, visit our FAQ page.
