Youth Rec

what is Youth Rec?

BBNT’s Youth Rec program is for elementary-aged skiers (3rd-6th graders) who wish to learn how to cross country ski, improve their skills, or simply stay active through the winter. The focus is on having fun on skis while learning and mastering the fundamental skills of cross country skiing.

Each session begins with beginner skiers and advanced skiers working together. As the workout progresses, we divide into groups based on skill level and age.  Group size is never larger than 1 coach for every 10 athletes and frequently we will have 1 coach for every 5 athletes. Instruction is based on a learn-by-doing philosophy. We utilize lots of games, drills, and challenges to teach children fundamental skills and basic ski techniques. The goal is to help kids fall in love with nordic skiing and have a ton of fun!

November - March (16 Weeks)

Youth Rec is offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the season. Youth Rec athletes are highly encourage to participate in our Bogus Challenge Community Race Series as well. Come as often as you can, but we don’t expect anyone to be able to make all the sessions all year long.

  • Dryland - Before the snow falls, we run practices in-town at Camel’s Back Park from 4:15-5:30pm. Additionally, we take a short break the week of Thanksgiving as most of our coaching staff is in West Yellowstone for the XC Ski Festival.

  • On Snow - Tuesdays and Thursdays 5-6:15pm at the Bogus Basin Nordic Lodge
