The XC program is designed around skiers who love to stay in shape by skiing in the winter, and perhaps compete in other sports year-round. It is skate-based and the emphasis is on fun, camaraderie, fitness, and skill. For those who wish to race, the Wasatch Citizens Series provides an entry to competition.
Ages: 11 – 19
Years in sport: 0 – 8
Equipment: One pair of Nordic skate boots and one pair of skate skis. Rentals will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Classic Option: Skiers interested in skiing in the classic style are welcome to do that. We have limited skin skis available to rent. Skiers can choose to ski both classic and skate throughout the season.
Schedule: Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, 4:15 – 5:45. Now starting right after Thanksgiving and running to March.
The XC-Team meets at Mountain Dell Golf Course on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. While there is a one day a week option, to really learn and enjoy cross country skiing, two days a week is ideal. High school students can petition for Lifetime Activities P.E. credit through their Salt Lake District high school.
