The Pagosa Nordic Club is offering introductory Nordic Ski clinics — for both classic and skate styles — are held throughout the season. The skate ski and classic cross country ski basics will be shared by some of Pagosa Springs’ best skiers. All clinics are free of charge. Donations and Pagosa Nordic Club membership are strongly encouraged to help offset expenses with conducting the clinics and trail grooming.
These are great clinic for never-evers, beginners and intermediates. Learn how to make these outdoor winter activities even more enjoyable. Bring your ski gear: skate skis or classic kick and glide.
Local ski shops provide discounted rentals for the clinics, just mention you are attending the clinic and ask for the discount. Pagosa Mountain Sports, Pagosa Ski Rentals, Summit Sports, Alpen Haus Ski Center and Ski & Bow Rack rent classic skis, with Alpen Haus and Ski & Bow Rack also renting skate ski equipment. Be sure to ask for the discount.
Due to Covid-19, the Learn to Ski clinics will be limited capacity. Pre-registration is required with NO WALK-UPS. Face coverings are required for everyone attending the clinics. You will need to download and print the waiver, fill it out, and bring it with you to the clinic.
