Learn Nordic Skiing with Us! Registration is Open for Nordic Ski Lessons and Clinics

By

– The Frisco Nordic Center is once again offering a variety of clinics, lesson programs, and events for the 2022- 2023 season, including women’s skate ski clinics, co-ed skate ski clinics, private Nordic ski Lessons, and guided tours.

The Frisco Nordic Center is opening on December 1, 2022, with both women’s and co-ed clinics scheduled to start in early January.

“Nordic skiing is such a fun way to move on snow, regardless of where you are in your experience or fitness journey, and is awesome cross-training for so many other sports. As a new skate skier and past clinic participant, I really appreciated how friendly and knowledgeable the instructors were as I learned this sport. If you are looking for a unique gift idea, or perhaps a gift for yourself, a lesson package or clinic would fit the bill,” stated Veronika Hewitt, communications specialist at the Town of Frisco.

Registration is now open at FriscoNordic.com for the following programs:

Private ski lessons and tours

Private ski lessons provide a friendly environment to learn the basics of the sport or to focus on personal goals.Guided ski and snowshoe tours offer the opportunity to see a variety of scenery and learn about local history, flora, and fauna. Lessons and guided tours are tailored to individual needs with classic, skate, or off-track skiing available.

Private ski lessons and tours times and rates

All of the Nordic Center’s tours and lessons are now private, and lesson and tour prices include a day pass, but do not include equipment rentals. Private lessons and tours go out at 10:00 am, 12:00 pm, and 2:00 pm each day and can accommodate up to 10 people maximum with a cost of $75 per person, or $60 per person for groups of five or more. Participants must be six years or older to participate in lessons.

Parties of one can register online, however, reservations for more than one person must be made by calling 970-668-2570. Lessons and tours are not available during special events.
