“December snowstorms have kept the ski area blanketed.” 
“Everybody is stoked!” said General Manager Theo Callan. “December snowstorms have kept the ski area blanketed. And cold temperatures, along with the masterful snow-farming skills of our groomers who are out there every evening, mean we are able to keep the snow where we want it!”
Meanwhile, the Village’s first masters and kids Nordic ski teams have been practicing drills and timed races. “We meet two times a week and will continue that schedule throughout the season,” said Village Operations Manager and Head Coach Annie Jehle. “It’s a great opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts to learn new skills or improve the ones they already have.”
Jehle says there is still time for participants to join the region’s first teams. Also new this year, the Village is offering fresh-from-the-factory Rossignol rental equipment. “We’ve got full classic and skate packages ready to go – all the gear you need to get out on the trails,” she said. QCBN
