This class is for anyone who has never skied or who hasn’t skied in years, wants to brush up on the basics, and have some fun this winter. We’ll start from the beginning and build on the basics while enjoying different places to ski. We’ll talk about equipment, techniques, and explore a different ski trail every week as conditions permit. You’ll need your own equipment. The first meeting will begin at Camden Hills Regional High School field house beside the athletic fields. We may need to adjust this schedule and travel distance based upon availability of skiable areas.
