UPDATE:
Location change to Mt Shark. Not enough snow at Pocaterra. We'll carpool to the Barrier Lake Visitor Center to meet the Instructor before heading to the location.

I'm following up to the X-Country Ski Intro with this one to firm up our skills and play in the snow a bit more.

This on snow class features a progression of activities to help you learn level terrain skills. Emphasis is on diagonal stride and double poling techniques. There is no prerequisite for this introductory class.The program is designed for adults but teens (13-17) accompanied by a parent are more than welcome. We will eat lunch in a heated building with running water.
