Off To The Races
The Annual Fall Training Camp is over for another year and the weather couldn't have been better. The seventeen skiers from all over Newfoundland enjoyed the sunshine and mild temperatures while they trained on the Menihek trails. Two races were held while they were at the local club and the results will be posted in this week's paper The top male racer for both days was our own Alf Parsons , while top honours for the women when to Rhonda Lawrence.
Work has started on the lights on the Vello's Trail and the trail should be ready for night skiing sometime in the second week of December. With the exception of the Birches, all trails are groomed and open. The birches trail requires a bit more snow before it can be used. Skiers have been taking advantage of the mild temperatures this past week and the chalet has been very busy.
The Jackrabbit program still has openings for young skiers. If your child is between the ages of 4 and 13 and you think they might enjoy skiing, why not enroll them in this program. They will be taught the basics of cross country skiing in a fun atmosphere. The program runs each Saturday from 1-3pm. Come check us out. On Saturday, December 14th, the Jackrabbit program will be having a Christmas party for the kids.
On December 28th and 29th the ski club will be holding a Christmas Ski Camp. Further details about this camp can be obtained by calling Alf Parsons or Rhonda Lawrence at the chalet office 944-5842.
Don't forget to display your ski tag on your clothing when using the trails. If you haven't purchased your membership yet you can do so at the chalet. Office hours are 9-5pm every day of the week.
