Nordic Ski Lessons

Come learn the ease and grace of classic cross-country skiing or the power and speed of skate skiing with one of our Expert instructors. Cross country skiing is easy to learn, but difficult to master. By taking advantage of a group or private lesson, you can increase your efficiency and enjoyment of the sport. One word of caution: the fun factor is high enough that you just might become addicted to our 20K of groomed track. Please call the Experts at the White Pine Nordic Center at (435) 649-6249 for more information.

AIARE Avalanche Courses

In the central Wasatch Mountain Range, we love to explore the incredible terrain beyond the resort boundaries. But we can’t stress the importance of avalanche education enough. Designed for professionals and aspiring backcountry users, our AIARE level 1, Rescue 2, and Pro avalanche courses will provide you with the knowledge and insight to more safely explore backcountry terrain. Considered to be the largest and the best in the West, and led by professional guides with multiple years of experience, our avalanche courses include two full days of fieldwork at a private ranch where the powder is plentiful and the views are epic.
