Back-to-Ski Weekend Coming Up

This coming weekend is known by some as the Back-to-Ski weekend in Clarenville.  The local cross-country ski club starts to dust off its skis and get back into the swing of things.

I remember the first time I skied on a trail at White Hills.  I screamed by way around the 3.5 km trail (now known as Harry's Loop).  It took me about two hours and I came home and slept for three hours.  I lost count of the number of falls. Thankfully, I've improved.  Although I do silently curse when one of those 80-year-old skiers flies by me.

The weekend includes registration, an information session about the club, a waxing clinic, instruction clinic, ski tour and social. The weekend kicks off on Friday, Jan. 6 with registration at the Clarenville Events Centre lobby from 6-8 pm followed by an information session and a waxing clinic.

You can get more information on the Club's Facebook page.

The winter months go a lot faster if you enjoy them!
