Washington County Parks is hosting two separate Adult Learn to Ski lessons Jan. 10 and Feb. 14 at Lake Elmo Park Reserve for anyone 12 years or older interested in trying cross-country skiing.
The lessons will be led by coaches with Minnesota Youth Ski League's (MYSL) Lake Elmo SkiSparks Club and are tentatively scheduled from 1:30-3 p.m., Jan. 10 and Feb. 14 depending on snow conditions. At both one-day lessons, attendees will learn basic striding techniques, how to fall safely, and more skills.
Registration is required at WashingtonCountyMN.gov/ParksPrograms. This program is free with the purchase of a vehicle permit ($7/day or $30/year). Ski equipment will be provided for participants thanks to MYSL. Attendees will meet at the Nordic Center in Lake Elmo Park Reserve, located at 1515 Keats Ave. N., Lake Elmo, MN 55042. Attendees should dress appropriately for the weather. Washington County Parks will contact registrants if the lesson is postponed or canceled due to snow conditions.
