Roller Ski InstructionClub Sessions
The sessions cater for beginners with no previous experience to aspirant loppet racers. For a small fee, all the necessary equipment can be provided for those who need it.
Ideally by the end of the programme, all beginners would be of a level able to take part in the open track sessions at UCLan that are run over the late spring and summer (see Events page for details) or for a cross‑country holiday on snow. Those with some previous experience should be ready for anything: loppet racing, touring on snow, or the Northern Roll challenge which involves four one‑hour events organised once a month in May‑August at venues in the North West and North East of England. Open track sessions for roller skiers with their own equipment are also held for several weeks in late autumn/winter at the Tameside Cycle Track in Ashton‑under‑Lyne (see Events page for details) to help skiers prepare for forthcoming winter holidays on snow.

Cross-Country Ski Coaching On-SnowFrom January 2024, the club has organised an annual on-snow holiday with coaching that has taken place in Dobbiaco, northern Italy. These are intended to become a regular feature, subject to demand, and may be moved to later in the year to different venues such as Venabu, Norway, depending on snow conditions, and even to be timed to fit in with a local loppet race. Watch this space for more details in coming years. Telemark Coaching On-SnowClub Sessions
Telemarkers can practice on the main slope (lift pass required). Club Telemark coaches usually attend and are available for coaching and support. Telemark equipment including skis, poles plus a limited number of Telemark boots are available from Chill Factore included with the lift pass (to purchase). All skiers are required by Chill Factore to wear gloves and long sleeves when on the slopes. Helmets must be worn, also available free of charge with the lift pass. Introduction to Telemark sessions are also run - please email telemark@mccsc.org.uk before coming. Participants must have Alpine ski experience and be able to make turns and control speed from the top of the main slope. More questions about Telemark skiing and our sessions are answered here.
