Program Descriptions - 10 to 14 years of age
Roller skiing is an important training tool for the cross country skier. The basic skills are important to master and will be used throughout a skiers life. If you look to Scandinavia for insight, skiers are on roller skis at a very young age. This helps with the development of balance, agility, confidence and strength. This program is one of our longest running programs. Many of our older juniors and high school graduates learned how to and mastered roller skiing in this program. Above all, it is really fun.
