Free cross-country skiing and waxing classes

I bought XC skis awhile ago but I can’t say I know proper technique.  If you’re like me or would like to get into the sport, take advantage of these free cross-country skiing classes from REI.

Free your heel and your mind will follow. Join REI as we share information and tips for getting into cross-country skiing. We will discuss the fundamental differences between backcountry, telemarking, and touring ski styles. In addition, we will cover proper clothing and information on where and how to get started in the fun winter activity.
