 About 55 skiers showed up today to enjot the warm weather after having to cancel on the 20th due to sub-zero temps. The trails were in great condition as there has been limited use since the last grooming. A great time was had by all, some of the kids were still skiing an hour after class ended.

Hot cocoa, games, obstacle course, music, fun! Free! In Uptown in conjuction with the City of Lakes Loppet . The SuperCarnival is from 2-3:45 on the Greenway parallel to The Mall very near the Loppet finish line. The Sons of Norway Minne-Loppet starts at 4 pm (free, but you must pre-register).

The MYSL Trailer will be there to provide limited kids ski equipment. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Amy.

Tuesday January 1^st was the fourth annual kids cross-country ski race at Browns Creek Trails in Stillwater. 40 children participated in this year’s race despite the cool and windy conditions. Participants received a ribbon and treats upon completion. The race was sponsored by the St Croix Valley MYSL Club.

It was a great day with 92 skiers from ages 2-14 enjoying a great day on snow with family and friends.  We are looking forward to more snow and good skiing on Sunday 1/13.

The group enjoyed some very mild temperatures for January today.  It seems the groups are getting settled as well as the coaches.  Thanks everyone!

Mike Manlove, 52, passed away suddenly on April 26th 2007. Losing Mike has been a huge blow to the Ely community. He loved coaching his kids in MYSL and they really loved having him for a coach as he really was just a big "kid". Memorials can be sent to the MYSL/Ely Nordic Ski Club, P.O. Box 346, Ely, MN 55731.
