Equipment: Bring your own or Homestake Lodge will provide equipment at an additional charge of $50 for the season. This means any time you choose to come skiing, you can use this equipment.

Cost: $80 for entire program (not including equipment), or $15 per Saturday

4th and 5th Grade Elementary School Days

During the school week, we have schools bring their 4th and 5th graders up to the lodge to learn about cross-country skiing. A typical day is the bus arrives around 9am and kids are outfitted with skis, poles, and boots. Some teachers prefer to split the group into 2 and while one group gets a lesson on skis with instructors, the other does a snow science lesson with their teacher. After about an hour, we switch groups. The kids go in for lunch around noon. In the afternoon, we jump back on skis and go for an adventure tour around the trails. The day ends around 2:30pm and the kids load the bus and get back to school.

We have had great success with this program in the past. The kids seem to enjoy learning a new winter activity. Last season we had students from Whitehall, Harrison, and Helena. This winter we are expecting the Montessori School from Butte to join in the fun as well.

Women's Intermediate Skate and Classic Group

This group is for women interested in getting together once a week in the evening to learn technique and get a workout in. In the early winter, we will be using the lighted ski loop and headlamps. Ability level is not really an issue so dont be shy. We love newcomers. If you are a complete beginner and never been on skis before, it may be best to take a lesson first so we can assess your ability.
