Have you seen people skiing at Wirth Park in the Winter? Want to learn more about how to move your body on skis and add another reason to love Winter? If you have never been on skis or are a long-time skier – come to the Ski Fair to learn more about cross-country skiing at Wirth!

If you are new to cross-country skiing or just have questions, learn about:

  • Different types of cross-country skiing Equipment needed and where to rent or buy it 
  • What clothing to wear 
  • Programs offered through the Loppet Foundation to help you learn to ski

Experienced coaches will answer your questions and show you equipment/clothing and provide suggestions on how to get what you need without breaking the bank

Everyone is invited to:

  • Head out on the trails for social yet vigorous pole hikes and remind your muscles about ski position and movement (if this is new to you – we will help)!
  • Meet and welcome other skiers and potential skiers – share why you love skiing!
