Have you been thinking about trying skiing but never found the right time or way to get started? Perhaps you haven’t strapped on a pair of skis in years and would like to revive your old skills? The FitQ beginner skiing course, led by sports educator and coach Bert Tippi, was created especially for you.
Why is this course right for you?
Start at the ideal pace
The course is designed for people with little or no previous skiing experience. The training progresses step by step: first, we master the basic techniques, then gradually move on to higher training loads and endurance exercises.
Professional coaching
Bert Tippi graduated from the University of Tartu’s Institute of Sport Sciences and Physiotherapy and works as a physical education teacher and coach. His extensive competitive experience, including in running and skiing, ensures a safe and effective learning process.
A clear 48-day training plan
Our training programme includes both training and rest days, helping you balance exercise and recovery. We start at an easy pace so that your technique and endurance develop together. This approach also helps prevent injuries.
Prepare for the Tartu Marathon
The course training plan is particularly suitable for anyone who wants to complete the full or half distance of a ski marathon in 2025. If that sounds like you, this course is an ideal way to prepare for a marathon—but everyone who simply wants to enjoy skiing is also welcome.
Equipment and technique advice
You’ll learn how to choose the right skis, poles and clothing. We’ll also share practical tips on maintaining and waxing your skis. The right equipment and proper ski care make skiing much more enjoyable!
