Experience the centuries-old art of Scandinavian-style cross country ice skating across a frozen lake. Learn how to select the right equipment for you, and how to skate safely and efficiently (without getting tired) across all types of ice surfaces - hard and soft, smooth and rough, snow-covered and snow-free. Learn the basics of ice safety, including how to use a nordic skating pole to test the strength of the ice. By the end of the workshop you will have the necessary skills to skate on groomed ice and participate in "wild skating" tours.
