Ski Education School Program
Outdoor fun for students
In partnership with Crosscut Mountain Sports Center, we offer quality ski and science education programs to K-12 aged youth from around Montana. These programs are designed to introduce students to cross-country skiing and spark a lifetime of awareness and appreciation for outdoor landscapes.
School Program Offerings
We offer two programs for local schools: Adventures in Winter Ecology and Nordic Adventures. The programs provide skiing, science, and Indigenous Peoples education to a wide range of students. Our schedule for this season has already filled, but if you are a teacher who would like to get on the waitlist, please email skieducation@crosscutmt.org.
Ski Education Curriculum
The Ski Education curriculum is designed to offer place-based learning experiences in the outdoors, while incorporating elements of the Next Generation Science Standards within each activity. It supports experiential learning and offers a unique supplemental educational opportunity for students. We strive to provide an education experience that is adaptable and engaging for grades 3rd-12th. For K-2 graders, our program teaches students the basics of cross-country skiing and fosters an appreciation of the stunning environment and all the critters who call Crosscut home.
Access for Everyone
Crosscut offers high‑quality ski and science education to students from across Montana. Each winter, our School Program serves over 2,500 students from more than 30 schools with a special emphasis on Title I schools through hands‑on field trips that combine cross‑country skiing with environmental science. These programs are designed not only to teach skiing, but to spark curiosity about the natural world, build confidence, and foster stewardship of the environment.
