Day 2 of our photo challenge. Well done, skiers! It is wonderful to see so many families enjoying the trails safely. Thanks for participating.

Mission accepted! Day One of our photo challenge was a success. There is still another day to participate. Maybe some adult club members are interested in winning a prize?

Olaf, Spider-Man, Finnley’s Fox, and 2 Klisters are visiting the ski trails at Kinsmen Park this weekend. Find these characters along the trail and take a photo with them (wearing your skis). Submit your photos to [email protected] to be entered to win a prize! All club members are encouraged to participate and prize winners will be notified by email.

Be prepared! Having all your gear ready for practice is going to be even more important this winter for our youth in programs. Here are some tips from our ski team parents: - Make a list to follow each week - Pack as much as you can the night before, including checking that your gear is dry... - Keep a mask in your drink belt/pocket, in addition to hand sanitizer, hand warmers, and a snack - Pack extra layers, or a change of clothes, for after practice - Leave back-up supplies in your car to use in a pinch (buff, toque, mitts, mask, etc) Let’s go skiing!

As per the provincial shutdown, our youth programs and adult lessons are required to pause for two weeks. Lessons will resume on the January 9/10 weekend. You can still ski at Hiawatha Highlands - Ski, Snowshoe & Bike with your household - trails are open and spectacular!

Club membership and program registration will be opening soon! Thanks for being patient; there have been many changes over the past few weeks. While you wait a few more days, why not learn about all of the changes? http://soofinnishnordic.com/?p=4404
