Check out this great opportunity for young students! We're looking for spirited skiers from grades 2nd through 6th (6-13 years old) to take on a snowy challenge. The best part? There are spots for the first 25 students, and we're giving a high-five priority to those with some skiing experience – you guys are our snow stars!
Race Categories:
Beginner (1km): Perfect for our newbies who want to feel the thrill of racing independently.
Intermediate (3km): Calling all ski enthusiasts with a bit of experience – here's your chance to shine in a slightly longer race.
Advanced (3km): For our seasoned skiers ready to show off their skills in a more competitive setting.
This will be independent skiing - no adults on the course during the race.
To secure your spot and get more details, reach out to Mrs. Ceci Aho. Hurry up, as the deadline for registration is February 7th, 2024!
