Skate Skiing: Email ykskiclublessons@gmail.com if you would like to be added to a list of those interested in skate ski lessons. We provide these on a pop-up basis when conditions and temperatures allow for effective instruction for beginners.

Participants need to bring their own gear or rent from Overlander Sports. 

Lessons will be rescheduled if the static temperature is below -25C and are subject to adequate snow coverage. 

Stay tuned for skate ski lessons as conditions allow! These will likely be a drop-in format.
