NORDIC SKIING
Nordic / Cross Country Skiing
Smooth aerobic movements and mountain fresh air will fill you with a sense of freedom and exhilaration. Beginner to expert classical track, and sit-ski participants glide on groomed trails at The Summit Nordic Center.
Classical Track and Telemark Skiing
Classical Track beginner and intermediate skiers may use standard skis, boots, and poles, or benefit from adaptive equipment such as a four-track walker (named after the number of tracks left in the snow). Adaptive skiing equipment can accommodate participants who have balance difficulties, developmental disabilities, hearing and visual impairments. Telemarking is downhill skiing on specialized cross country skis. Participants who would like to apply advanced classical track skills to another skiing method, should try this technique.
Sit Skiing
This is an excellent cross training sport for building upper body strength or to enjoy the beautiful winter landscapes. Individuals who use wheelchairs, including those with paraplegia, balance difficulties, or bilateral lower extremity amputations can experience cross country skiing using a sit-ski.
Back Country Ski Touring
Participants looking for a little more adventure can ski on a different trail each week using the SnoPark ski trail system in the Mt. Baker - Snoqualmie National Forest.
