Join us for some XC ski fun at Green Woodlands! We will review the basics of classic XC ski technique so you can glide the trails in search of warming huts filled with hot cocoa. There may be a few thin snow patches which we will pop off our skis for but it's all part of NE skiing. We will wrap up the trip with some serious s'more making!
No prior XC ski experience necessary. We will practice winter layering systems, hydration & energy re-fueling. There will be a mandatory in-person meeting at 6pm on Thursday, Jan 9th, to meet everyone, review logistics and get gear.
