SKI-101 clinic at GPRA on Saturday, February 26th at 1:30pm.
Do you want to learn to cross country ski but don’t know how to start? SKI -101 is for you.
This clinic is designed for absolute beginners who have never had skis on the feet before.
If you are an absolute beginner in need of learning how to put on ski gear and need some basic instruction on how to get started skiing, then this class is for you. Join us at GPRA on Saturday the 26th of February at 1:30pm. The class is free and we hope to see you there!
We have a few sets of ski gear to rent for a minimal fee. Reach out to info@matsuski.org for more information.
Backcountry Bike & Ski also has skis available for rent.
