Adult Programs 2023/24
Adult Group Skills Series
All of our lessons have concluded for the 2023/24 season. Please contact [email protected] for any questions for Nordic lessons in the 2024/25 season.
Each group will consist of 6 participants and your instructor, Blake Paton. Through the 6 sessions participants will progress through skills and techniques in accordance with their abilities. The aim for the instructor is for participants to have fun, socialize and improve their classic/skate technique through the series. With weekly sessions you’ll have the time you need to practice new skills and get feedback on your progress. Please sign up through zone 4: https://zone4.ca/register.asp?id=34257

MASTERS TRAINING GROUP
Masters training is back for the 2023/24 season!
The group meets every Wednesday at 5:30pm in front of the lodge for a warm-up prior to intervals. All intermediate-advanced level skiers are welcome to join!
The goal of the group is fun but with some intensity and friendly competition mixed in to keep it interesting. Please arrive with headlamps. Workouts will be posted the day before on the RNSC Masters Facebook Group.
We’ll have a quick meeting after the workout in the lodge to talk about some ideas for the group, so if you can stick around please do. See you Wednesday!
