Summer Training Program
If you are interested in the Summer 2025 Roller Ski Training Program, please answer the following questions by April 28th. The number of skiers who participate will (a) determine the number of alumni skiers we hire as assistant coaches and (b) impact other aspects of the program.
If you have any questions about the Summer Training Program, please contact Coach Abery.
PLEASE NOTE: We will continue to run the program through Community Education. At this point the program is not yet listed as a summer offering. After we have an idea of the number of skiers who are interested in the program, we will connect with Community Education and you will be given registration instructions.
