Looks like a warm day this Saturday for skiing. Plan to dress accordingly so your little ones don't get over heated but have dry warm hands and feet.

Also, check out http://www.skitigers.com/equipment-basics.html for some basics and pointers on ski equipment. One thing to remember on warm days like this weekend, is no-wax skis actually still need wax on the glide surfaces to prevent the snow from packing up. The local shops sell some products called quick wax that are great for keeping your kids skis gliding smoothly.

See you on the trails.

The Barnelopet ski race is this weekend at Maasto Hiihto Trails in Hancock this Sunday with registration at 1pm and races starting at 2pm. This is a great event for the kids from 3 to 17 to enjoy a great skiing event in the area. Below is a link to the website for more details and I hope everyone can get out and support our local trail systems and participate.

Also, no racing experience needed as it is just a fun event for the kids and everyone gets a amazing medal and cookies.
