Get your first kilometers on skis for the winter, and get certified to coach too!
 
The first opportunity of the winter to finish your USSS L100 certification. Coaches should be prepared for a roughly ~2-3hr assessment on snow. Please plan on being on skate skis. Information with specific details on venue (meeting place etc…) will be emailed to registrants prior to assessment day, as the flow of traffic on-snow will be dictated by the availability of snow at Craftsbury Thanksgiving week.
