Minneapolis Youth Rollerski Program
Rollerski training is the cornerstone of cross country skiing training. We’ll work on balance, strength, and coordination with activities that lead to a more effective skiing on skate technique. Most sessions will start from Theodore Wirth Park and Golden Valley and move around the neighborhood and parks, as skills progress we’ll visit West River road bike trails and the picturesque Lilydales Trails.
