Our Mission<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are dedicated to supporting active, healthy aging by providing enjoyable cross-country skiing and hiking opportunities that encourage fitness, confidence, and social connection among seniors.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our Origin<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The club was formed in 1982 by a group of retired friends who thought cross country skiing was a great sport for their time of life<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Our Present<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday mornings the group gathers at 10 am for a couple hours of recreational trail skiing in the winter or hiking in the summer. A schedule is posted here in the ‘Activities’ page stating, by date, the start location. Non members are welcome to come along and see if this is an activity and a group that is right for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don’t give formal lessons or supply equipment but we do offer opinions and suggestions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ad hoc events are planned including weekday stays in the mountains for those interested in organizing and participating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Our Future<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

As in any group members come and go. New members are always needed and welcome as is their energy, experience and enthusiasm. Happy skiing and hiking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
