Nordic Skiing Association of Anchorage is hiring instructors for adult cross-country ski lessons this winter. We are looking for experienced coaches who want to share the excitement of learning to ski with others.
NSAA Membership is required for NSAA Adult Ski Lessons. ANY level of membership, from $50+, is appropriate. Your membership DIRECTLY supports the trails that you’ll be skiing on during the lessons, and helps NSAA continue to provide skiing opportunities for all Alaskans.
Meet outdoors behind Service High School at the Little Gym. Some Saturdays, we meet at the Hilltop Trailhead, which is at the far north end of the Hilltop Ski Area parking lot, off Abbott Road. Check your Remind App before practice for updates.
All groups will meet outdoors in the area of Kincaid Park (9401 Raspberry Road). Some Saturdays, we meet at the Jodphur Trailhead at Kincaid, which is on Jodphur Road (West on Raspberry Rd to Sand Lake Rd, South on Sand Lake to Kincaid Rd, West on Kincaid to Jodphur, South on Jodphur to the Trailhead). Check your Remind App before practice for updates.
Each skill level group will meet in a slightly different location near the Lidia Selkregg Chalet at Russian Jack Springs Park (ie, in the upper golf course, in front of the chalet, or near the sledding hill) – more details to come. The Chalet is South of Debarr Road between Bragaw and Boniface, in Russian Jack Springs Park. Check your Remind App before practice for updates.

Local businesses have experts to help you buy the best fitting skis, boots and poles for your or your child. If you already have skis (or are renting Junior Nordic skis), bring your skis in with you when you go to purchase boots. If you already have boots, bring those with you when you go to purchase skis.
