Thursday

We had another super day of skiing, hi 20’s and sunshine. The Elmhurst Ski and Bike Club spent the day here and Team Gogebic had a nice turn out for practice tonight. The snow is holding up well and is skiing well with the daily grooming. We concentrated on regrooming a portion of the classic only trails today and all of the skate lanes. 80% of 2-4 inches of new snow tonight and we have a full crew on again in the AM.

Clydesdales Night

We had a nice turn out of 22 Clydesdales tonight; 4 teams of various levels skiing from 5-15 km. ages 21-71. Sam from the Gogebic College Ski Team and Team Gogebic provided a few helpful hints and tips to help us improve our technique. Next week we will have the normal classic touring  version of the Clydesdales and also a new group of skaters (equipment and basic start up instructions provided).

Tuesday 2nd graders

We had 56 second grade students here learning to ski. The program was initiated by Paulette Niemi with equipment provided by various groups and grants including the Birkie Foundation and the SISU Ski Fest.  The program introduces 2nd grade students to cross country skiing! It also teaches nutrition with a healthy snack after skiing.
