Rolling into the summer

Traces of snow have hardly left the Lakeland fells and we're already publishing Snowsport England's calendar of roller ski weekends - helping cross-country skiers hone their skills for next season.

There's three weekends scheduled, which cater for anyone from beginner to advanced:

  • 25-26 June 2016 - Snowsport England roller ski training weekend, Hayes, London
  • 20-21 August 2016 - Snowsport England roller ski training weekend, Hetton Lyons, Co. Durham
  • 1-2 October 2016 - Snowsport England roller ski training weekend, Salt Ayre, Lancaster

Equipment hire can also be arranged for anyone coming to the sport for the first time. Booking details on the Snowsport England calendar of events.

The Snowsport England XC Coaching Panel is also planning the following courses (on two of the dates above) for skiers interested in becoming instructors or advancing their skills:
  • Hayes – Level 1 Roller Ski Instructor course (two days); Level 2 Roller Ski instructor course Part 1 (two days).  Revalidations for Level 1,2,3 (one day, Sunday 26 June)
