Loppet Ski Club - Fall Dryland 2026

About Loppet Ski Club - Fall Dryland

This program is designed for adult recreational skiers. Beginners will learn technique without the complication of using slippery skis, while more experienced skiers will benefit from a tune-up and re-emphasis on ski-specific training after a long summer with no snow. We will start each week as a group then sort into small groups based on skier fitness and experience. Each group will do a combination of technique specific drills, fitness, strength, agility, and balance work.

Location: The Monday group meets at the start time in the field at the corner of Glenwood and Xerxes. Parking is at Wirth Beach or in the neighborhood near Xerxes and Glenwood. The Wednesday group will meet and start from the Wirth Beach parking lot.

Equipment: Running shoes or other trail shoes are most important. Bring ski poles (or hiking poles) if you have them. If you do not have poles, come anyway, as these workouts can also be done without poles. For evening groups, you may want to add a headlamp. For new skiers, we recommend that you wait to buy equipment until after you speak with one of our coaches - we can probably help you get better gear for less money.

Financial Assistance: The Loppet provides financial assistance for those in need. To apply, please fill out this Financial Assistance form . Our staff will be in touch with you with next steps once your application has been submitted. Limitations apply, please see the application form for rules and restrictions.
