*** ABOUT THESE SKI LESSONS ***

These lessons are set up in two groups, for kids 5-6 years old and 7-8 years old.

The lessons will take place on MONDAY EVENINGS, 17:45-18:45, starting early Decemberm, snow permitting. The lessons will go on until mid-March, also snow permitting.

At the same time of kids lessons, you have an option to register for a parent's learning group, with me (coach Dasha). Parents will have an option to work on skate or classic, in a highly individualized, drill-based setting.

If the weather at 6:00 pm is forecasted to be at or below -18 Celsius (including Windchill), the lesson will be cancelled. We will check the weather at 1 pm on the day of the lessons, on https://www.theweathernetwork.com/ca/hourly-weather-forecast/alberta/calgary

We will have Coaches Alex, Amelia & Natalie as our group instructors. The lessons will be based around games and feeling comfortable / having fun outside & on skis.

Equipment - Ski poles are completely optional for kids 5-6 years of age. What your child will need: WARM, and ideally waterproof pants, jacket and mitts. Proper classic skis with ski boots and bindings (no plastic strap-on skis please), and warm wool socks. A well-fitting hat/toque is also a must.

To piggyback off our club insurance, we are setting up this registration as part of Space Dogs Ski Club. Please note that it is the parent's responsibility that the child is adequately dressed, warm, and prepared for the ski lesson.

Lessons will occur at the Confederation Golf Course, in a designated, kid-friendly roped-off area.

The total cost for the lessons is $250 + GST per child, for the winter season. Confederation Grooming Fees of $30 and Nordiq Canada / Nordiq Alberta's $22 fees are included in the registration price.

The adult's group price is $300 + GST (it's more expensive because historically parent's groups have been much smaller and more personalized than kids').

If you have any other questions - please get in touch with Dasha at skidash@gmail.com or (403) 679-1699.
