When: Monday, December 2 at 6PM
*This event repeats monthly on the first Monday
Where: We’ll meet at the Archangel parking lot and ski for 1.5-2 hours.
About the ski and what to expect: We’ll be skiing at a leisurely pace for 2-4 miles (conditions pending). The terrain is a mellow, groomed trail with a couple rolling hills. This is a great chance to test out cross country skiing if you're new to the sport. We will review skiing basics and then offer resources for those who decide it's a winter activity they'd like to pursue in more depth. If you're a more experienced skier, consider joining and partnering with a new skier at the event.
After the event, we’ll enjoy hot drinks at the trailhead.
