private lessons

age 1 - 101

starting at $30/hour

New to cross-country skiing? Hoping to brush up on your ski technique? Trust the ski instructors at Laurentian Nordic to teach you how to master the essential skills of Nordic skiing!

One of our dedicated instructors will meet with you one-on-one or within a group to help you develop your abilities – whether you are a novice or intermediate skier. It’s never too late to learn a new skill!

WHEN: Instructors will meet with you at your convenience to provide a private lesson. Book a lesson directly with one of our instructors (see below). Book one lesson or multiple lessons throughout the winter.

FEE: $30/hr per instructor (not per person) + LNSC Membership (for members) or a day pass (for non-members) + rentals (if needed). Groups (2-4 people) are welcome to receive private lessons but the value of instruction is maximized at a 1:1 instructor-to-pupil ratio. The cost remains $30 for two people but there is a cost of $15 for each additional person up to a maximum of four. For example, a group lesson with four skiers is $60. Any more than 4 skiers and the quality of the lesson would be compromised. Fees are to be paid directly to the instructor providing the lesson.

RENTALS: Rental equipment is available.

Please email the ski club, who will then connect you with potential instructors, to book a private lesson.
