III. Event/Race Updates

Adult Lessons Update

We will not open registration for future classes until we get a significant snowfall, and Nine Mile is able to open to public skiing. We have been continuing Nordic Walking when possible, follow along on Facebook.

Snow Striders Lessons Update

With the lack of snow, we were not able to kick off Snow Striders on 1/5/25. The long-term forecast is not looking good for next week either, so assume 1/19/25 Snow Striders is also cancelled unless we receive notable snowfall, and it is communicated otherwise. - Andrea Larson, Snow Striders coordinator
