SKATE

We keep a running list of skiers interested in skate lessons. We run lessons if the forecast is above -15C (we need glide!)

email ykskiclublessons@gmail.com if you would like to be added to the list.

Note - Overlander Sports does not rent skate ski equipment

What about equipment?

Participants must provide their own boots, skis and poles. If you don’t have equipment, rentals are available at Overlander Sports. Rental includes your Day Pass for the ski club.

If the lesson that you want is full, email ykskiclublessons@gmail.com to be placed on a wait list.

Additional dates are posted as the season unfolds.

Email ykskiclublessons@gmail.com with questions or if you would like to be made aware of future lesson dates and times.
