Why learn to cross-country ski with HPSC?Our certified instructors offer cross-country ski lessons on most bus trips (except the very start and very end of the season).

There are 5 levels for classic and skate. Below you will find explanations of each level to help you decide which level you should be in. Don't worry too much about it; when we see you ski, we can place you in the right group. All members who sign up in advance will receive lessons; we may not be able to accommodate those who do not register in advance.
For more information on lessons, see the FAQ page first. If your question is not answered, you can email crosscountry@hpsc.ca.

In addition to regular lessons, we sometimes offer special clinics or programs through the season. Past examples include hill clinics, "faster, smarter" clinics (learn to navigate terrain more efficiently), and tips and tricks sessions (15 minute sessions with an instructor to work on a particular skill). There is no additional cost for these programs. If we offer them, you can find the dates in our schedule. There is no guarantee that we will offer special programs every the season; it depends on the number of instructors available.
We also offer opportunities to train to become an instructor with the club. This is a great way to give back to the club and share your love of skiing and it is a great way to improve your own skiing. Email us to find out more!
