The Clearly Lake Youth Ski Club is run by enthusiastic volunteers (like you), dedicated to sharing the joy of cross country skiing with kids aged 4 to 14.

Weather: We will meet on snow this year!

Schedule and Meeting Place:
Our meeting dates for the 2009/2010 season are:

January 10, 17, 24, 31
February 6, 14, 21
March 7

Our regular meeting place and time is from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. at the Clearly Lake trail head Please arrive 20 to 25 minutes early to allow time to get signed in, and suited up.

Clothing: Dress your child appropriately for the day's weather. Younger children should wear snow suits if there is snow. Older children should wear layers: polypropylene underwear, insulating fleece layer, and a non-absorbent outer layer to cut the wind and keep out the snow. Warm hats and mittens are mandatory.

Water: Kids in levels 3, 4, 5 and 6 should have and carry a water bottle. Parents should carry bottles for the younger kids. Fill it with GatorAid, PowerAid or KoolAid. These kids go pretty hard and get dehydrated quickly. They will drink sweet tasting liquid more easily in the cold. The snow may look clean but.....

Equipment: All skiers need to provide their own equipment. The equipment must be in good working order and fit your child. Consider buying a ski bag for your kid's skis and poles. A snowboard bag works great and can hold up to 4 pairs of skis and poles. Label everything you own with your name and cell phone number. You may get a call before you even get home!
