ABR Trails

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).

“Why can’t I ski with the Clydesdales?”

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.

This is another slide show from today taken by George and Pussanne.
