When: Friday, October 21

Where: We’ll meet at Government Peak Recreation Area (GPRA) at 6 p.m.

What to expect: Join Revel and Ailis Vann (Mat-Su Ski Club) for an overview on all things cross country skiing. We’ll meet in the GPRA parking lot for a brief chat about different kinds of cross country gear and set ups (with skis and gear to look at). Following our gear chat we’ll be walk/hike for about 1.5 hours over rolling terrain. Trail conditions will depend on snowfall closer to the event. Follow our social media pages for any relevant trail information or contact us prior to the event for additional details on what to expect.

This will be a great opportunity to scope out local ski trails and learn what resources are available if you’re new to skiing.

What to bring: Bring warm layers, a headlamp, water and snacks. Many of the trails at GPRA are lit, but some are not so having a headlamp will give us options for adventuring around different areas.

About Ladies Night Out(doors): Explore a local trail/area in the company of women! We hope these events will bring together women who are new to hiking and adventuring (or new to the area) with women who have some experience with outdoor adventuring. If you’re a seasoned adventurer open to mentoring a newer hiker or a new hiker looking for an outdoor mentor - let us know :)
