Lander Little Nordies is a 7-week youth ski program with LNSA and run by volunteer coaches.  Kids will be divided into groups based on grade level: 

  • Mini Nordies grades K - 1st,

  • Little Nordies grades 2-3, and

  • Nordic Crushers grades 4-5. 

Our programs are focused on play and building skiing skills, including: 

  • Balance

  • Gliding and pole use

  • Agility and coordination on skis

  • Building endurance and self-confidence

All of our skiers will ski on classic skis. If your child is interested in learning to skate ski, please reach out to see our availability for private lessons. Skiers must provide their own ski equipment. Please contact the coaches if you need help renting or finding gear.

We will ski at the Lander Golf Course and can use the clubhouse for changing into gear and post-ski treats.

  • Drop off at the Club house at 2:45pm. Pick up at 4pm.

  • Wednesdays: Jan 7, Jan 14, Jan 21, Jan 28, Feb 4, Feb 11, Feb 18, 2026

Additional Information:

Skiers must provide their own equipment. We have the blessing to use the Golf Course Clubhouse to change clothes inside, use the restrooms, and enjoy post-ski treats. This will help ease the transition of getting kids into their warm clothes and ready to ski. 

Program fee $50 for 7 sessions. Scholarships available.
