What to expect: We will be offering two activity options this month. Ladies can opt to cross country ski or walk.
About the walk: This will be a mellow walk/hike along rolling terrain. The trail is generally packed from snow machine traffic. We will be doing an out and back walk. Expect to walk for about 1.5 hours.
About the ski: This will be a beginner/intermediate ski. The trail cross portions of snow machine trail and groomed cross country ski trails. Conditions in this area vary, so come with an open mind! There are some moderate hills (going both up and down). If hills aren’t your jam - you can always take skis off and walk sections you aren’t comfortable skiing. Expect to ski for about 1.5 hours. If you need help coordinating ski rental, please contact Kierre at 907-903-1664.
Cost: This is a free community event.
A couple other notes: If you need help finding the trailhead or want to contact Revel prior to the event, please contact Kierre at 907-903-1664.
What to bring: Bring warm layers, a headlamp, water and snacks as desired. Depending on conditions, ice cleats may also be beneficial.
