Want to learn to skate ski? With the right equipment and proper coaching, you'll soon be flying down the trails on skate skis! The First Time Skate Package is for those with solid classic ski skills who want to expand their horizons. With ski equipment and technique that differs from classic skiing, you can easily move forward with our instructors gently guiding you through those first basic steps of skate skiing.
If you're completely new to Nordic skiing, you must try classic skiing before moving on to skate skiing in order to get the basics of Nordic skiing down. You can take the classic lesson in the morning, and move on to the skate skiing lesson in the afternoon on the same day.
Please arrive at least one hour before your scheduled lesson starts in order to allow us time to properly fit your rental equipment.

Dress in layers so you can take them off (as you get warmer) or put them on (as you get cooler). A hat is a great way of controlling temperature, you also need gloves or mittens (if it’s colder); it’s not a good idea to ski bare-handed.
Clothing for cross country skiing is versatile. You can use tights and windbreakers made for skiing, bicycling, or jogging.
Conventional cold weather clothing like bulky parkas isn't suited to cross country skiing, as it constricts movement and generates excessive body heat.
Wearing several light articles of clothing - for instance, polypropylene or similar underwear and synthetic fleece overpants plus windpants, with a wool or fleece zip sweater and a wind-resistant jacket - allows you to trap warm air in pockets of space. Synthetics and wool blends are the best – cotton is not good. Cotton absorbs and holds moisture, acts like a moisture sponge whether it’s perspiration or snow and accelerates cooling, (So, leave your jeans at home!) Synthetics and wool blends allow moisture to evaporate, making you more comfortable.
Socks are perhaps the most important clothing item, try wearing thin polypropylene liners under a pair of wool or wool-blend socks. If your toes are susceptible to cold, resist the temptation to put on too many socks - you'll only restrict circulation, making your feet colder. Our rental boots have a lot of insulation in them for your additional warmth and comfort.
Gloves are better for precise ski pole control and dexterity in getting in and out of your skis. Mittens are best if you're prone to cold hands, since they allow fingers to share body heat.. In warmer conditions, don’t use too heavy a pair or they'll be sweat-soaked in the first kilometer. We find most people need a lighter glove than what they imagine, often getting cold hands from sweat soaked heavy gloves like those commonly used in Alpine skiing and Snowboarding.
Biathlon Events at the Nordic Center
Biathlon is a sport in which participants combine cross-country skiing with rifle marksmanship. In competition biathlon is performed using skate skiing technique and 22-caliber rifles. Participants skate a ski loop, fire five rounds at a biathlon target and head off again around the ski loop. The orientation to the biathlon program includes skate ski instruction as well as range activities. Space is limited to 20 people per day - register early with the Washington Biathlon Association at www.wabiathlon.org.
