This course is for those who already have at least a week’s experience of cross-country skiing but feel that they have not yet quite mastered the basic skills. It is for people who still feel a little wobbly on their skis, and who find a moderately fast descent a scary prospect rather than an exciting one.

The course is based at Dalseter and uses mainly the relatively gentle area of tracks to the north of the hotel. The teaching programme will place a lot of emphasis on half and full snowploughs, but we will also cover the entire range of basic techniques.

Instruction will be combined with half-day tours in which we will enjoy relatively easy tracks at a relaxed pace. Overall the holiday grade will be about Level 1B.
