Rollerski 1-day courses UPDATE We had 31 skiers and 5 instructors at our April Dorney course - a record for us! Join us for our next Dorney course on Saturday 24th May, Levels 1 and 2 available. Our courses at Dorney Lake offer the chance to learn the basics of rollerskiing in the classic or skating technique, or to improve, or transfer from snow, existing skills. As with all our instruction, the emphasis is on teaching with cross-country skiing in mind, so you can transfer your skills onto snow - and enjoy the thrills of cross-country skiing, ski touring and cross country ski racing all the more! We focus on developing good balance on rollerskis, and will cover the basic 'gears' of classic and skating techniques. We provide all the equipment you need - skis, poles, boots, kneepads. The skating course takes you through the essential elements of the three skating 'gears' - skate 1, skate 2 and skate 3 as well as double poling. On classic we will go through the gears of diagonal stride, kick double pole and double poling. We work hard to develop good balance and body positions. We hope you'll continue on rollerskis and snow! Our Level 2 course will focus on refining technique, and will bring in a lot more exercises for developing technique, on skating and classic rollerskis. Each course takes place from 10am to 4pm. Course costs £55 including all equipment hire, or £45 excluding equipment, and a packed lunch. Click here for meeting point
