Youth Instruction & Programs
Kids love to cross country ski. XC skiing is the most liberating ski experience for a young age: no lines, plenty of wide open spaces, and no sitting around.

You can help your child become an avid skier:
Tuesday mornings, non-holiday, JacksonXC offers free tickets and rentals, including pulks and tot skis, to skiers (up to two adults) who bring a child or children under the age of 5. Use of equipment is based on availability. This is a good time to meet other families – while maintaining appropriate (6+ feet) distance – with similar-aged children and interests.
Pulks let you ski along with your child in a purpose-made sled that you tow from a hip-belt. You can bring your child on your ski outing and easily carry along toys, tot skis, music, snacks, and a change of clothes for a nice family outing. Very little children often sleep; older kids can alternate between XC skiing and riding.
Lessons are 1 hour (unless otherwise arranged).
$60 for the first person, $20/person for additional family members.
Intro lesson package: $65/person. Call to reserve; available daily.
A no-charge coaching program for grades K-6 who already have some ski experience. Non-holidays Tuesdays & Thursdays, 2:30 to 3:30 pm. Parents drop off and pick up and kindergartener must have a parent in attendance at all times; all children must have a parent or designated adult in attendance for the first session. Waiver and registration required. (This is not a childcare program; it takes place 100% outdoors.)
JacksonXC is supporting the Jackson Grammar School’s physical education classes this winter with XC coaching.
In addition, JacksonXC is providing XC and snowshoe experiences to participants in the Conway Elementary Schools’ Project Succeed program.
