ABOUT THE NORDIC INTRO PROGRAM
AGES 6-7

AGE: Should be age 6-7 as of January 1, 2024. (This equals U8.)

Learn to cross-country ski. We take holistic approach to skiing. We work on the fundamentals of skiing: agility, balance, and coordination. And we focus on creating a fun and supportive environment that can support a diverse range of skiers and create a healthy team atmosphere. For this age group, we focus on  classic (or diagonal striding) technique, including double poling and double-pole kick, through games, exercises, relays and other fun activities. Kids work with U.S. Ski & Snowboard-certified coaches in groups of the same age and ability to build confidence, community, and skills.These 6-7 year olds will have a blast learning to ski with friends during this introductory program.

No prior ski experience necessary. Children are placed into groups based on age and ability. They can spend multiple years participating in BSF Intro, and when they want to move up to the Development Team (no racing required).
