About the event
Join us for a mindful cross-country ski experience on Mount Royal!
This event is designed to combine the joy of learning to ski with the benefits of mindfulness in nature. Together, we’ll move at a gentle pace, connecting breath and movement while gliding through the snowy trails of Mount Royal Park.
If the weather conditions are not good for skiing, we’ll enjoy a mindful skating session at Beaver Lake instead (same meeting location).
We will meet at the Beaver Lake Pavilion, where you can rent skis, poles, and boots. At the time of writing, ski rental is $23.00 for 3 hours. Rentals are on a first-come, first-served basis, so if you’re renting equipment, please arrive early and head to the rental counter to get fitted. Once you’re ready with your gear, meet us outside the pavilion at the main entrance.
This mindful skiing event is perfect for beginners and first-time cross-country skiers. No prior experience is required! If you are already experienced, you’re welcome to join—just keep in mind that we’ll be moving slowly and dedicating some time to developing basic ski technique and building confidence on the trails. We also plan to host a more advanced mindful ski event later this winter.
