Several of our instructors are offering up private lessons. If you are interested in a private lesson, please reach out to them directly.
SCOTIA XC provides these names as a service to members. You should be a club-member to participate in private lessons on club-groomed trails. The club is not responsible for any activities related to private lessons. Payment arrangements are made directly with the coach.
Here is a list of instructors, their credentials and details about the lessons.
