Cross Country Ski Lessons at Tech Trails
HOUGHTON -- The Michigan Tech Nordic Ski Club will hold two sets of cross-country ski lessons for adults: One starting at 2 p.m. on Sunday afternoons, Jan. 17, 24 and 31, and one starting at 5 p.m. on Wednesday evenings, Jan. 13, 20 and 27.
Each set is a series of three one-hour lessons. Lessons will start at the Waxing Center at Tech Trails. Skiers can choose from skate or classic technique; and the lessons will be taught at the beginner, novice or intermediate level based on the skier's ability.
"This is our sixth year of providing lessons," says Blair Orr, Michigan Tech Nordic Ski Club Faculty Advisor. "Our thanks to the Keweenaw Community Foundation, which helped us get this program started years ago."
The cost for a set of lessons is $25. More information is available at ski.mtu.edu.
