The recreational ski program is designed for the skier aged 9-18 who does not wish to focus on racing, but enjoys being outdoors, having fun on skis and wishes to improve on classic technique. This program will encompass all non-race skiers and will focus on classic ski technique with skill development but without racing. Program goals include: improved fitness, classic skill technique improvement, increased balance, agility & speed.

What Member’s Say
When you really think about it, this is almost the “ideal” program in so many ways. It is local and convenient. It is a “no stress” introduction to a sport that promotes fitness and health for life. It offers competitive opportunities to those who so desire. Finally it happens in a beautiful outdoor environment. I believe there are many sports clubs who seek to fulfill one of these goals, but very few who attempt to fulfill all of them. We are so fortunate to have XCBC in our backyard!
Let me say something. You have an amazing team with awesome support. They really helped me this weekend. This is what I call an “extra mile” in customer relationship. So I give 8 stars for the program theme and if I could, I’d give 10 stars for support.
