This tier of DONS focuses on learning the nuts and bolts of Skate Skiing. This class is not designed for "Never Evers". This is a class for people who haven't skied as much and centers on learning and practicing basic techniques. There are still some work out and fitness aspects but these aren't the focus of this group. Humor and camaraderie are also offered at no extra charge.

The intermediate level DONS clinics have a balance of technique and fitness based drills based around V1, V2 Alternate and V2 Skate techniques. There's typically a challenging work out thrown in after a warm up and technique and skill based work. There is a fair bit of comedy and camaraderie as well.

Skiers can expect to focus on proficiency of glide, “attacking” all sorts of terrain and discovering how much fun classic skiing can be. Think agility and confidence on skis! Skin skis are great, waxable are fine in good ski conditions.
