Nordic Lessons & Special Programs

Wondering which technique or style you are interested in learning? Classic or diagonal (traditional) skiing is as simple as walking and gliding with poles. Your skis track in a grooved trail for added support. Skating uses both poles to propel you forward while the legs skate along like an ice skater or roller-blader. This is a newer, faster version of cross-country skiing. Both techniques require specific equipment, and each provides fantastic aerobic exercise. All lessons meet at Frontier Point Nordic Lodge and Education Center.

PASSPORT PROGRAM $119/person

Geared toward the new Nordic skier, the program consists of four group lessons and includes rentals. Nordic Passport graduates get to use Nordic Center equipment (a few limitations apply) for the rest of the season. Class size is limited so please sign up in advance by phone 332-5390, stop by the Nordic Center, or visit the Bogus Basin Downtown office at 2600 Bogus Basin Road
