Rentals & Lessons at Crosscut

Come ski with us

Crosscut is the perfect place to learn to ski, to improve your skills, or to just drop in for a day on the trails. With a variety of skate and classic lessons for all abilities, plus affordable and high-quality gear for rent, it’s easy to get out on the trails with confidence. Please note, lessons must be booked at least 24 hours in advance. Walk-up rentals are welcome - save time by booking online before arrival.

 

Not sure which cross-country skiing style to choose?

If you're new to cross-country skiing, we suggest trying the classic skiing technique first as it is a more natural movement that’s easier to pick up than skate ski. If your goal is to go for a casual ski through the woods, the classic technique is a great place to start. Skate skiing requires more advanced technique and is a great activity to try if you’re looking to challenge yourself on snow.

 
 

No gear? No problem.

Crosscut offers rental packages for skate and classic skiers.
