How to Get Started:
Step 1: Take a lesson — learn the basics to give everyone the confidence they need to have a great time on the trails.
Step 2: Get good quality gear. Rent or purchase XC ski equipment from Cross Country Ski Headquarters that is fitted especially for you and your family, at the lowest price possible.
Step 3: Go skiing at a groomed trail network with short, easy loops. A few family favorites on the Cross Country Ski Headquarters trails include Trapper’s Cabin (1 mile loop, with a bonfire at the halfway point on weekends), and the Blizzard Trail (0.8 miles, with an optional hill that most kids love).
Step 4: Reward everyone with hot cocoa and a giant chocolate chip cookie at the Stone Turtle Cafe at the end!
