It seems like it was a different lifetime that we were all together skiing and enjoying hot cocoa. I hope you are all hanging in there with this dramatic change to all of our lives.
EQUIPMENT
If you have Battle Creek Rental Equipment you have two options:
1. You can drop it off anytime on my front patio at 1427 Osceola Ave. There is a green tub for the boots. Please leave the skis and poles in the corner.
This Sunday, March 8 is our LAST session of the season and due to the high temperature (63!) it's going to look a little different than we'd originally planned.
We will meet at the same location at 1 p.m. BUT the emphasis will be on treats and hot chocolate, as well as the opportunity for skiers and parents to pick up Skill Cards and Level Pins. (If you/your skiers want to try and ski or go for a pole hike, that's great too!)
We will meet today at 2:00 at Battle Creek as planned. It will be slushy out there! The sun will be shining and our fabulous coaches are ready to go. It will be a fun club on skis!
Next week we probably will not have skiable snow at Battle Creek so we will celebrate a fun season with games. Kickball, pole hiking, tag, relays..... If you have some awesome ideas, please let me know! If you can help organize a game, this is a fantastic opportunity to help lead a group not on skis.
We will meet again at Battle Creek at 2:00 today. Please get there in plenty of time to get your skis on and be ready to ski at 2:00. With the group skiing further and faster, its hard for us to find the groups that have already left.
Level 1 skiers -- Today is a very exciting day. Poles!!!! Please bring your poles. If your skier was not given poles with their rental equipment, there will be some for your skier to use. You can take them home with you and return them in March.
We will have quite a fun, snowy adventure today at Battle Creek! It will be awesome! We will see everyone ready to ski at 2:00. Please allow extra travel time.
Remember to track your Ks! We have quite a few new members on our leader board. This is awesome! Forgot how to track your K? Instructions here: https://mysl.org/node/127079
Bring your skis and/or snowshoes, a sled and a headlamp! Enjoy the ice luminary candlelit trails among towering white pines by a full moon! Cozy up to the roaring fire in the Historic Lodge with a hot cocoa and s'more and enjoy a board game with a friend. Trail etiquette reminder signs posted. Free event put on by EOWSKI! ski/outing club volunteers and supprted by Kocian's Family Market Grocery Store of Bigfork, MN and hosted by Scenic State Park.
You’ve probably heard a little buzz, fuss, and maybe even seen a cowbell commercial about the upcoming Fastenal Parallel 45 festival that ends in the first World Cup event on US soil in 19 years. But if not, that’s ok…I’m here to give you the step by step guide to having the MOST fun at this event! photo by Nordic Focus
Conditions at Battle Creek are holding up fantastically despite the warm temperatures. It will be a great day to get outside and enjoy this amazing winter.
This is the LAST CALL for people who would like to help plan something fun for the last ski session on March 8. Please email me (battlecreek@mysl.org) if you are able to help plan something fun or find me in the snack room after club.
