Ski Lessons & Rentals


Ski Lessons

Joel Simpson, one of our Nordic ski club coaches is willing to introduce new skiers to the wonderful world of cross country skiing, as well as work with advanced level skiers looking for greater efficiency to mine those free seconds on race day. He is able to instruct in both classic and freestyle (skate skiing) though admits to being a more accomplished freestyle skier. The best part is he is willing to give his time for free if you are ready to make the effort.

“I have a passion for Nordic skiing. To access good form lets you dance on the skis. It is a thing of beauty to balance on your skis and float down the trail. You can lose yourself in the flow… Being able to learn to balance sets the foundation to more easily master the sport. I always strongly recommend people get lessons learning to skate especially as its so technique intensive. I have had the pleasure to ski with the highest skill level skiers and instructors over the years and it has made the process so much easier. The self taught skier can struggle with potential limiting habits and it is my opinion that anyone can learn to be smooth and fluid on their skis.”
-Joel Simpson

The process does not need to be intimidating and everyone learns at their own pace. He is willing to work with groups and individuals of all levels.  Even a single lesson can make an enormous difference on your mastery of the sport.

There is still plenty of winter left and the snow at Teton Lakes has never been better. If you see him at the golf course don't hesitate to say hello and start a conversation.
