- Intermediate - for those with or interested in a three star proficiency award or wish to ski at this level
- Beginners and Improvers group - for those with none or limited cross country/roller ski experience and are interested in progressing to one and two star level.
There will be the opportunity to be assessed for the SSE Nordic Proficiency Awards. Details can be found here
