NEW PROGRAM*
Generation XC
Youth Cross-Country Ski Program

Goals and Program Description. The primary objective of the Generation XC ski program (GXC) is to promote cross-country skiing opportunities for youth in the Cache Valley area, with an emphasis on fun, fitness and skill building, through age appropriate practice groups for skiers of all levels, from novice skiers to advanced racers. To accomplish these goals, the GXC ski program will involve 4 practice groups phased in over the next two winter seasons. For the 2006-07 season, the GXC ski program offers the following practice group:

Recreational. The recreational group is open to all kids 8-13, including those who have never skied. The recreational group emphasizes fun and basic skill building through games and ski play. Skiers learn both classic and skating techniques.

Dates. The initial year of the GXC “Recreational” ski program starts on Saturday, January 6, 2007 and continues each Saturday for 8 weeks through February 24. The Saturday sessions will be held in and around Logan Canyon (snow permitting) and begin promptly at 10:00 am and continue until about 11:30 am. Parents will be responsible for transportation to and from the class and are strongly encouraged to participate.
