For experienced cross-country skiers
The Advanced Lesson is built for skiers with significant cross-country experience who want to refine technique at a high level. This is not a "stretch your range" lesson — it's a "make your good skiing better" lesson.
What gets covered
- High-level stride mechanics — diagnosis of inefficiencies, video review where useful, drill-based correction
- Skate vs classic technique refinement depending on your preference
- Race-oriented or touring-oriented pacing — pick a goal
- Advanced descents and tracks-out skiing — for skiers comfortable off the groomed track
- Avalanche and backcountry preparation if your goal is winter mountaineering — though full backcountry preparation is its own course; see backcountry tours
Who should book this
Skiers who have done multiple full-distance Nordic days, including the full Glacier Point round trip or equivalent. If you've never skied more than 8-10 miles in a day, the Intermediate Lesson is the right call.
