Private Lessons

Private lessons / Private group lessons are the standard type lesson offered at Forbush Corner Nordic. They give you, your family, your personal group of friends the opportunity to discuss with the instructor what ski related skills you want to work on.

Like the group lessons, they last approximately one hour, and can include skills ranging from fundamental skills to make down the trail to more advanced techniques that will allow you to traverse the trail systems with more efficiency.

It is great to take more than one of these lessons during the season, with the goal of continuous improvement over the entire winter.

Our Ski School Director, Carole, specializes in assisting individuals living with arthritis or those who have had a joint replacement. Continue enjoying cross-country skiing by learning new techniques designed to help you ski safely and comfortably. Ask if you feel this would be a good match for you.

Small Group Clinics

The clinics will differ from our regular lessons by focusing on specific skills, techniques, or topics that skiers can explore to enhance their abilities. They may also be tailored to particular groups, such as women’s ski groups or Michigan Cup Racers. Instructors, with input from skiers, will schedule a variety of clinics throughout the season to meet these interests.
